PilotFish Interface Exchange (PIE)

Implementing the ORU_R01 Culture Report has never been easier.

In order to successfully integrate with today's healthcare information systems, payers, providers, labs and software solutions must implement the HL7 standards. Not only is HL7 messaging widely adopted by medical systems and devices, it is mandated in the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.

The XCS eiConsole for Healthcare provides a set of rapidly configurable, reusable components targeted at addressing the unique challenges of HL7 integration. This add-on product takes your productivity to the next level, offering you a pre-fabricated interface template for the ORU_R01 message.

This interface offers a bundle of two HL7 interface templates intended to support the integration of systems using the ORU_R01 Culture Report message as described in the implementation guide: "HL7 Version 2.5.1 Implementation Guide: Orders and Observations; Interoperable Laboratory Result Reporting to EHR, Release 1". This message is used by an EHR to read a Culture Report report from a laboratory.

Consume-CultureReport

• A paint-by-numbers approach for configuring a consumer of the ORU_R01 message

Produce-CultureReport

• A paint-by-numbers approach for producing an ORU_R01 message
