POU system interface process

Infor uses the ADT or the Admission, Discharge, and Transfer system which generates an HL7 data format containing patient details and corresponding patient visit information.

Infor POU uses a batch method, to which a scheduler runs and checks if an HL7 data flat file has been placed on a specified inbound folder defined in the filter.properties. If the current ADT System uses the TCP/IP method, an Interface Engine should be provided to pickup data on a socket and then place the file into the inbound folder.

After POU reads the HL7 file, and all records are saved to the MSCM database, the HL7 file will then be deleted. If an error such as invalid data, expected field required, or file cannot be read occurs, an .ERR extension will be made into the HL7 file.

On the Billing System side, POU generates an HL7 data flat file format containing financial transactions for POU activities done within MSCM. The file is placed on a specified outbound folder defined in the filter.properties. Depending on the scheduler setting, the HL7 file format will be generated typically once a day.
