PilotFish Interface Exchange (PIE)

Implementing the HL7 medical lab report message to and from Meditech 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 the HL7 messaging widely adopted by medical systems and devices, it is mandated in the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.

This interface offers a bundle of two HL7 interface templates intended to support the integration of systems using the Meditech detail lab report message. This message is used by a hypothetical medical lab and Meditech produce and read lab reports.

Consume-MedLabResult

A paint-by-numbers approach for configuring a consumer of the HL7 Meditech message

A pre-configured conversion of the lab result message to friendly XML

A pre-loaded mapping template for mapping a lab result XML message onto a proprietary data format

Produce-MedLabResult

A paint-by-numbers approach for producing an HL7 Meditech message

A pre-loaded mapping template for mapping your data onto a lab result report

A pre-configured conversion of the XML lab result message to an HL7 message

This interface bundle also features sample HL7 and XML messages consistent with the lab result report
