I want to extract patient data from Vista EHR CPRS tool in some standard HL7 format. But I am not able to get any option in it to download patient data in XML format.
So does CPRS doesn't support extracting of patient data in standard xml format? Is there a way in which I can download data in CCD fomat?
Any help much appreciated. Thanks
It is an EHR product, it may or may not have interfacing capabilities which for new starters is like extracting patient data and creating an HL7 message out of it. You really need first understand the EHR. You can contact the direct support for Vista EHR CPRS tool and ask.
EHR products vary differently some have this as a built in feature some do not and require another tool like Mirth for integration purpose that connects to the same database that this product is on and provide the capacity to interface.
I got this reference from wikipedia which clearly states the use of Mirth
"Tools for CCR/CCD support have been developed for VistA, allowing VistA to communicate with other EHRs using these standardized information exchange protocols.This includes the Mirth open source cross platform HL7 interface and NHIN Connect, the open source health information exchange adaptor."

I have Transport Management System. Now one of my carrier want to send me EDI document for Shipment Tracking. that document is EDI 214 (Transportation Carrier Shipment Status Message).Now I'm not clear what I'll need at receiving side. I did some search on google and there are lot's of information regarding EDI and it's workflow. But I'm not clear what should I need at Receiver Side.
Do I need to open any port at my side for receiving document ? Do I need EDI Translator software ? Please Help me as I'm new to EDI.
Thanks so much for any help.
The good news is that receiving X12 is typically easier than generating X12, so your use case is simple relative to bi-directional communication. You are receiving X12 EDI 214s, so it is a single flow in one direction.
The best way to think about this is to ask 1) what is my input I am receiving? and 2) what is the output I want to generate? You are receiving an EDI 214, so presumably you want to generate a JSON/XML/CSV object with just the tracking data that you ERP (system of record) can ingest.
So you need a few things in a typical "EDI architecture"
File transfer protocol (an SFTP is easiest) that you trading partner can connect to and send files to
You need to translate that X12 to JSON (you should check out www.stedi.com/docs/edi-core to do that)
You need to "Map" that file to your output schema (and perhaps convert it to XML/CSV)
You need to post that file to your ERP system
You need to send an EDI 997 (acknowledgement) back to the sender to say "I got it" (think of a read receipt on SMS). Note: some times this is optional
EDI is text, formatted a specific way (aligned to a published standard). To receive files, you have options (but also depends on what the sender supports). Everything from email to 3rd party value added networks, to signed/encrypted HTTP pushes (AS2).
You'll need to agree how you're trading these electronic documents. Once you receive it, then you'll need to parse it. This can be done using 3rd party translators, or you can write it yourself. If the partner requires a 997 (an acknowledgement you received the file), you'll have to generate that. Most 3rd party tools will do that for you. 3rd party tools typically consist of a mapper (drag and drop from source to target) as well as communication mechanisms. Some are cheap, some are expensive. It depends on what you and the sender agree upon to get to the level of effort that you have.
For simplicity sake, you could just set up FileZilla FTP and have the sender place the order there. Then have a process (script, program, etc) to pick up the file, parse it into something your ERP/WMS can understand (XML, JSON, CSV, etc). Again, that assumes the partner supports clear FTP. Some partners demand encryption.
I'm doing a small project in IoT .I'm using ARDUINO microcontroller(with temperature sensor)to sense the temperature value.Now i need to get those value into JDE(i.e..into IoT Orchestrator).How do i get those values into JDE?
Thanks!
Vasanth Kumar, iot integration is very new to everyone as well as oracle has also released some of the android apps recently. Please check some of the apps from oracle jdedwards in play store.
I used to study the oriely's book internet of things. I think programming the iot devices requires the assembly language background knowledge but c the high level language with a visual c++ editor should be included With jde installation as common language between jde and the microcontroller device. BSSV is used for mail transactions and practice BSSV for the message exchange between the microcontroller application amd the JDE, use this mail data to update the required tables. There are n number of devices so it is advised to you to make the protocols and programming by yourself.
Please update me if you have progressed in any particular direction and share with me as we both are in same new boat.
I am now developing an accounting web application to generate XBRL file then post to a government host web service. Now I have taxonomy prepared and user data ready. What I need is a software which can quickly map those data base on the taxonomy and generate XBRL files. Could anyone provide me some software which can achieve this? Open source is the best that I can implement into my project. Thanks in advance.
XBRL is a broad area, from detailed accounting data (XBRL GL) to summary reports to highly dimensional, data warehouse type content.
Commercially, products like Altova MapForce are really good for mapping from underlying data sources to XBRL taxonomies and creating content.
I assume you have already looked through SourceForge and found tools like Gepsio (https://gepsio.codeplex.com/). Arelle is a great start for people who know Python. (www.arelle.org). And there is a ton of Open Source and XBRL at xbrlwiki.info.
What Difference HL7 V3 and CDA, really until now I haven't got precise answer
please help me
Thanks.
HLv2.x is messaging protocol which was mostly ascii/text based, and also had an xml support to it. The problem was that HL7v2.x had boundaries for customization to about 20 percent That is why some times HL7 is also referred to as an open standard.
In order to scrap off customization, attain consistency and enable Plug N Play messaging, RIM - Reference Information Model was created. That gave an Object oriented approach to HL7 messaging standard.
Based on RIM, CDA Clinical Document Architecture was developed.If you say you using v3 or CDA both mean the same. v3 message is completely XML based allowing no region for customization unlike v2.7.
UPDATE: This question here also adds more information about the schemas used by v3 and CDA.
Key Differences
HL7 V2
Not “Plug and Play” – it provides 80 percent of the interface and a framework to negotiate the remaining 20 percent on an interface-by-interface basis
Historically built in an ad hoc way because no other standard existed at the time
Generally provides compatibility between 2.X versions
Messaging-based standard built upon pipe and hat encoding
V2 is what most people think of when people say “HL7″
HL7 V3
Approaching “Plug and Play” – less of a “framework for negotiation”
Many decades of effort over ten year period reflecting “best and brightest” thinking
NOT backward compatible with V2
Model-based standard built upon Reference Information Model (RIM) provides consistency across entire standard
Messaging in XML format.
Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) is what most people think of when people say “HL7 V3″
Example
v3

v3 is under continous development. Even today, most of the healthcare applications, still continue to use v2.x.
CDA are HL7 documents, while HL7 V.x are messages. Long story short, the CDA aims for human readability AND machine processing while messages only aim for machine processing.
Here's a good link which describes both paradigms.
A CDA is self-contained and static while a HL7 message describes a dynamic action on a object (A08 for example to update a visit's details or A05 to pre-admitt a patient.)
HL7 V.x messages are purely event driven while the content (Such as an OBX-5 field) may contain a static value. We for example used ORU messages to embedd x-ray results as binary stream.
I think you need to be a bit more specific on HL7. Do you mean HL7 V2 or HL7 V3.
CDA is a specific model created using HL7V3 ( and its underlying Reference Information Model ) to represent a clinical document. So in fact CDA is HL7v3, in as much it is an instance of a model created using HL7V3.
From my knowledge of CDA and the wider use of HL7V3, CDA is by far the most successful and widespread use of HL7V3.
CDA is an specification of HL7 v3. V3 is divided in domains, and CDA is like one specific domain for clinical documents. The Reference Information Model (RIM) of v3 is the general model for all v3 based standards, CDA is just one of those standards.
The CDA and HL7 v 3.x are synonymous.
I need Delphi code or component for accessing exchange/outlook contacts and appointments? I probably need to use Extended MAPI. This is for a proof of concept so I'm not ready to shell out big bucks at the moment. Any hints, links, experiences??
Look this
Create an appointment in MS Outlook
http://www.scalabium.com/faq/dct0128.htm
Contact list in MS Outlook
http://www.scalabium.com/faq/dct0145.htm
Look at EasyMAPI from Rapware.
Not free, but well worth the price. I used this a couple of years ago. The author was really helpful and open to adding new functionality.
at our company we used the converted Extended mapi C/C++ headers (to delphi) and examples from here http://www.imibo.com/imidev/delphi/les/index.html. it doesn't cost that much at least i think so.
We used it to create a sync service that would synchronized tasks, contacts and appointments from our own agenda which was build before i worked at the company with exchange directly.
The plus side is you can use MSDN since basically everything is the same as what's written there and you have full control but it's rather "low level"
I'm not really certain if it is that what you need, but you don't really need outlook to be installed to access the messages then (on exchange). If you just need outlook you could try OLE or some of the other suggestions.
I'm not sure if TurboPower OfficePartner supports the features you're looking for, but it's free (as in open source) and might be worth a look:
