Trigger - correct answers-Serves as the integration point between the application
workflow and Bridges
-generally an action in Hyperspace, like clicking a button or closing an activity
-a single, clearly defined action that a user or process can take that results in an
interface message being created and sent
An interface message contains.... - correct answers-Data about an event (like a patient
being admitted to the hospital)
MSH-11 and MSH-12 are... - correct answers-the HL7 processing ID and version; Epic
checks these values on an incoming message and rejects the message if they do not
match the expected values
Segment Identifier - correct answers-Three character code that identifies what kind of
data that segment contains
PID-5 - correct answers-patient name
NTE segment - correct answers-can follow many different segments
Z-segment - correct answers-custom segment for a specific implementation
Is it necessary to send empty fields following the last valued field? - correct answers-No
,Within a field do you need to send all components? - correct answers-Only as many as
are valued
Blank fields... - correct answers-don't file anything
Delete character HL7 - correct answers-double quotes " "--- tells the receiving system
to delete a piece of info it has
FHIR - correct answers-specifies RESTful exchange method via HTTPs to access data
Other standards supported by Bridges - correct answers-X12, FHIR, NCPDP, DICOM,
and Direct
Event (in context of outgoing message flow) - correct answers-small set of values with
the necessary info to build the message: patient ID, patient contact, type of message,
and additional info
-contains directions for where the interface should pull the information it needs from
the database
Queue - correct answers-storage location outside of Chronicles database structure
Event Queue is procesed by... - correct answers-the Event Daemon
Daemon (Outgoing Message Flow) - correct answers-process that runs in the
background without any direct user action
Event Daemon (Outgoing Message Flow) - correct answers-pulls an event off the Event
Queue, uses the information in the event to build the message and finally deletes the
event from the event queue.
The event daemon puts the message it has built onto the data queue and adds an
instruction to the Control Queue
, builds an HL7 message based on data pulled from Chronicles
Data Queue (Outgoing Message Flow) - correct answers-contains the full text of the
message along with some additional metadata (i.e. timestamp) about message
processing
Control Queue (Outgoing Message Flow) - correct answers-a to-do list and contains
very little data
-processed by the Communications Daemon
-maintains a list of messages waiting to be processed
Comm Deamon (Outgoing Message Flow) - correct answers-reads an instruction from
the Control Queue and copies the appropriate message off the Data Queue
-sends the message out of Epic and waits for an ACK to be reutrned
-deletes instruction from the Control Queue and proceeds to the next instruction
-sends or receives acknowledgments over a TCP/IP connection
Comm Daemon (Incoming Message Flow) - correct answers--listens constantly for
messages coming into the system
-validates MSH-11 and MSH-12 before accepting it, storing it in the data queue, and
adding instruction to the control queue
-sends or receives acknowledgments over a TCP/IP connection
Control Queue (Incoming Message Flow) - correct answers-processed by the Filer
