Connectivity Flashcards
T/F: quoting the connectivity package will allow you to send to both PCs and EMR
True. The EMR connectivity package contains both DICOM and the ability to integrate directly with the EMR
DICOM can speak HL7 and EMR
True. The DataMediatOr speaks HL7 and EMR
An EMR can always be used in place of a PACS server for an account
False. Some customers will not have an EMR that has storage, therefore will still utilize a PACS system to store their surgical images.
T/F: with the EPIC connectivity package a customer can pull information on from the MPI or MWL pre-op and push information to the BLOB server post op.
True
An EMR can always be used in place of a PACS server for an account
True?
An EMR connectivity package can be used for an EPiC customer who wants to save to PACS instead of the blob server
True
VNA. What is it?
Vendor Neutral Archive.
It operates like a PACS system. It’s the connection between one PACS system and another imaging system. (ie GE and Siemens)
The EMR connectivity package enables customers to send directly to EPiC, Cerner, AGFA and Meditek
False
DICOM needs to be purchased separately and added to the connectivity package.
False
Quoting the EMR connectivity package will give the customer the ability to save to PACS and/or an EMR
True
DICOM is the language translator in which the sdc3 needs to wrap its files to communicate with the rest of the hospital systems
True
DICOM allows my account to save to PACS and/or an EMR as well as DataMediatOR
False. Only PACS, EMR requires EMR connectivity package, DataMediatOr requires HL7 integration
What is MWL?
Modality Work List. A work order (prescription for surgery) is created for surgery similar to the radiology department, which is saved on the MWL, and therefore the SDC3 can pull in patient information from the MWL via DICOM
What are the required steps to pull patient info from the MWL?
The SDC3 must have DICOM software installed. MWL must be selected under the patient information tab as well as the PACS system, and the nurse will be able to select the list and then select the patient.
Why is DICOM important for EMR integration?
Not all EMR’s have storage for case images will still need to be saved back to a PACS system and a link will need to be created by hospital IT to the PACS system so the doc can view all images from one EMR system (computer screen)
PACs systems are common in hospitals for storing images because they are easy to integrate and are low cost options
True
A customer doesn’t have a morality work list (MWL) and they do not want to set one up. However, they want to be able to integrate and save using HL7. They can use DICOM instead.
False.
What is HL7?
Hospital Language Seven. This is the language in which all hospital systems speak.
What is DataMediatOR?
A software that serves as a central point of integration between the hospital information systems and the medical systems.
Scheduling Interface Unsolicited messages generated from Electronic Health Record systems are sent to DataMediatOR and made accessible to connected devices.
DataMediatOR is compatible with DICOM,XML, and HL7 languages
True
What are the main message types of DataMediatOR?
ADT (admit discharge and transfer)
ORM - Order Message (General order message used to transfer info about any order placed within hospital network).
Can DataMediatOR send to PACS?
DM has DICOM in it to enable sending to PACS — or it can facilitate FTP transfer of data that enables EMR to tap into folder on network which DM sends to, allowing integration into EMR
DataMediatOR has remote support. True or false.
True. Stryker Comm supports DM via a software application called iTivity. iTivity allows engineers and tech support reps to troubleshoot and resolve problems.
DICOM speaks HL7 and EMR
False. DataMediatOR speaks HL7 and EMR
There is a difference how sdc connects with EMR
Sdc requires that a Modality Work List or MPI is available for automating patient information. , as well as outputting DICOM to a DICOM destination, such as PACs.
If DM is present, the sDC will become HL7 compatible, allowing the information to push to a DICOM or EMR destination
PowerShare requires an internet connection.
True. You can use WiFi or LAN line
PowerShare sends surgical images
False. Does not store images
DICOM is required for this software
False. Only PowerShare package is required.
Why would you use the wise receiver to move the sdc to a doc station in a trial when the customer has no interest in PACs/EMR integration?
Moving sdc to the doc statin creates extra space on the car that can be used to decrease clutter
What is the minimum distance that should be maintained between transmitters and receivers?
40 feet
Which system does the wise system use?
WHDI
Will do com allow you to save to EMR?
No, only PACS. EMR requires EMR connectivity package, DataMediator requires HL7 integration
An EMR connectivity package can be used for an EPIc customer who wants to save to PACs instead of the blob server
That’s right. DICOM can store images in PACs but can also connect with blob server and utilize MPI for front-loaded patient information
DataMediator has remote support. True or false?
True. Communications supports DataMediator via a software application called iTivity. ITivity allows Stryker engineers and technical support reps to effectively troubleshoot problems. ITivity enables me he ability to SSH (Linux) or RDP (windows) into the OS as needed by Stryker. Activity logs are available in OS.
What does DiCom stand for?
Digital Imaging and Communciation in Medicine.
Language that allows the sdc to speak to other hospital systems.
Who is DICOM important for EMR integration?
Not all EMRs have storage for case images and therefore the images will need to be saved back to a PACS system and link will need to be created by hospital IT to the PACS system so the doc can view all images from one EMR system (computer screen)
What is the most common integration with Cerner and EpIC?
The most common integration with CERNER is through CAMM
The most common integration with EPIC is through their BLOB server
What is HL7?
Hospital Language Seven
This is the language in which all hospital systems speak.
What are the main message types of Data Mediator?
ADT - Admit Discharge and Transfer (carries patient demographics and trigger information to software applications)
ORM- Order Message (general order message used to transfer info about any order placed within hospital network)
True or false: sdc requires that a modality work list or MPI be available for automating patient information.
True
What are the main benefits and feature of DataMediator?
Bi directional EMR integration, DICOM support, media management, storage options, modular.
What is included with DataMediator and how much does it cost?
DataMediator software license, modality license, installation and engineering charges, software maintenance
