We have a similar site configuration to yours; the only difference is that the analyst that does web service connections uses a separate site for those processes.

We’re a medium-sized pediatric integrated delivery system with 1 acute care hospital, 2 ASCs, 3 urgent care and 6 diagnostic centers, and 20 gen peds physician practices.

I end up running the input message through the HL7 testing tool to verify which group Cloverleaf is pulling segments into.  In particular segments like NTE and OBX which may appear in a number of…Read more

What I did was create a few file to file interfaces.  One with a tps proc to filter on ADT types, one using an xlate, and one using a reg exp in the routing.  I believe I was filtering out merge and delete transactions (A34/35 and A…Read more

Does anyone have a checklist or best practice procedure for setting up web service clients?

Does anyone have any lessons learned boxing interfaces and export/importing them across versions?

Thanks!

We’re doing this Epic upgrade, and Epic now strictly enforces a <13><28><13> message terminator for ACKs.

We’ve been using tps_HL7_ib_ack_reply with this clause since we’ve been on Cloverleaf (3.8 through 6.2):

set reply_data [join “r”]

# create the reply message and OVER it
set rh [msgcreate -type reply $reply_data]

In the trace logs,…Read more

For me it’s a maintenance convenience.  Since I haven’t run into the HL7 version with different numbers (yet), I can find, say, the patient name, by searching 00108 and find everywhere the translate touches that field.  This is esp. useful as we have one developer with a quirky organization s…Read more

Is there a way to update them without editing the translate line by line?

The resource I was assigned would not help me understand how to use the tools and insisted on doing the work himself at a pace that I could not keep up.

But we can type in a full path in the Outbound Directory to access our attached storage.

We’ve tried saving the ACKs to SMAT as well, but have had issues with it working consistently — probably something wrong in my build, we’re still fine tuning it.

It would be helpful if I could tell when the process writes the message to SMAT.

I’m guessing it’s sometime after State 14, but can’t…Read more

Organizationally, even beyond the interface team, there’s not a lot of participation in collaboration sites.  Beside Cloverleaf we have Epic AND Cerner and it’s quite rare that someone posts a…Read more

I’ve also recently been told that a web services thread “has to have it’s own process.”

If anyone can point to documented recommendations, I’d be interested in seeing that too.

Didn’t happen on the resend from source system, and of course, can’t keep eo turned up all the time for an issue that is soooooo infrequent.

Create a variable with your string:

COPY =PREPARE CONVALESCENT PLASMA -> @TestString

Create a variable with OBR-4.1:

COPY OBR-4.1 -> @OBRText

If @OBRText eq @TestString  THEN COPY OBR-4.0 -> OBR-4.1

In Welch’s Tcl manual there are two full pages on grouping.  Normally, programming 101 says AND precedes OR, but precedence is over-ridden by parens () — however I’ve found that’s not always the case in Tcl (or how it’s implemented in Cloverleaf).

Glad you got it…Read more

As for the iterate, it sounds like the basis for the iteration is the whole message (path = 0), but you only have OBX tasks within the iterate — and it’s outputting blank segments because they’re…Read more

Not sure if it’s slow ACKs or the complex server chain that Cerner uses to process inbound traffic.

I’m using this code snippet to write messages to file:

set dvr_ctl_str “{FILESET {{OBFILE $ob_file_name}}}”
msgmetaset $mh DRIVERCTL $dvr_ctl_str

If $ob_file_name just has a filename, i.e., <some_file_name.txt>, the file writes to the outbound thread’s process directory.

How does one qualify the filename to write…Read more
