PilotFish Interface Exchange (PIE)

Implementing the Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI) Blood Product Usage (BPU) Denominator message 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 for Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) standards. Not only is HL7 CDA 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 CDA integration. This add-on product takes your productivity to the next level, offering you a pre-fabricated interface template for the CDA message.

This interface offers a bundle of two HL7 interface templates intended to support the integration of systems using the HAI blood product usage (BPU) denominator message as described in the implementation guide: "HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA Release 2: NHSN Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI) Reports". This message is used by the CDC or National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) to read a BPU report from a healthcare organization.

Consume-BPUDenom

• A paint-by-numbers approach for configuring a consumer of the CDA message
• A pre-configured conversion of the CDA message to friendly XML
• A pre-loaded mapping template for mapping a BPU XML message onto a proprietary data format

Produce-BPUDenom

• A paint-by-numbers approach for producing a CDA message
• A pre-loaded mapping template for mapping your data onto a BPU report
• A pre-configured conversion of the XML BPU message to an CDA message
• This interface bundle also features sample CDA messages consistent with the BPU report
