syngo® Dynamics HL7 Interface Specifications Manual

1. Introduction

1.1.Purpose

This specification provides the syngo® Dynamics baseline requirements for a Hospital Information System (HIS) to effectively send ADT/Order messages and to receive unsolicited observation reporting messages produced on the syngo® Dynamics system via the Health Level 7 (HL7) standard. This document describes the syngo® Dynamics system’s use of the HL7 standard for communicating with various HIS applications. It explains the syngo® Dynamics system’s use of the Siemens OPENLink component to communicate via the HL7 Standard.

The syngo® Dynamics system components communicate observation reporting information to the Siemens OPENLink Engine via a proprietary communications protocol. The Siemens OPENLink Engine constructs the HL7 message from information supplied by the syngo® Dynamics workstation.

The document specifies the details of HL7 interface messages supported for sDIS features in vVA10. The user is advised to refer other HL7 related documents available in www.hl7.org for further HL7 explanation and knowledge on HL7 Standards. VVA10 sDIS features require a standard HL7 INTERFACE ENGINE which is capable of converting HL7 messages from one version to another, and has functionality which can add, delete, append , Ignore and convert message segments. The Siemens implementation team and the customer should review this document and interface messages during the early implementation phase to assure all workflows and messages are addressed and/or rerouted via the interface engine.

syngo® Dynamics vVA10 sDIS feature supports HL7 VERSION 2.3.1 and all references made are applicable to HL7 2.3.1 standard.

  • Don't submit the form with incomplete or incorrect information, which may lead to complications in patient care.
  • Don't ignore the recommended review of quantitative data ranges in accordance with local diagnostic needs.

Misconceptions

  • Misconception 1: The syngo Siemens Errores form guarantees complete imaging accuracy.
  • This form does not guarantee that all images will be free from error. It is important to remember that the accuracy of clinical phrases and observations ultimately rests with the diagnosing physician.

  • Misconception 2: Using syngo Dynamics is a substitute for a physician’s expertise.
  • syngo Dynamics is a tool meant to support physicians, not replace their expertise. Clinical decisions should always be based on a combination of the system's information and the physician's knowledge.

  • Misconception 3: All features in syngo Dynamics are available worldwide.
  • Not all features of the syngo Dynamics software are accessible in every country. Availability can vary, so it's best to check with your local Siemens representative for the most accurate information.

  • Misconception 4: The CE mark covers unauthorized modifications.
  • The CE mark only applies to the product as originally intended. Any unauthorized changes void the CE marking, meaning the product no longer meets compliance standards.

  • Misconception 5: Image archiving happens automatically without any setup.
  • While syngo Dynamics does archive images, this feature requires appropriate configuration and functioning archiving devices. Regular checks are essential to prevent data loss.

  • Misconception 6: The software automatically prevents all data loss.
  • Data loss can still occur if proper backups are not performed regularly. Users must ensure that both the database and images are adequately backed up.

  • Misconception 7: Any healthcare professional can operate syngo Dynamics without training.
  • Operational responsibility is divided among various user roles, each requiring specific training and qualifications. A technologist, physician, clinical administrator, and IT administrator each have distinct roles that necessitate proper training.
