Utilizing all-source HL7 ADT data

Great Lakes Health Connect (GLHC) has many sources of inbound HL7 ADT data from its participating hospitals. It also has the ability to route those messages to community providers based on the information contained within the ADT messages. However, most community providers do not know what to do with an HL7 message, as they are either unable or unwilling to integrate those messages into their EMR or do not have an EMR system. In order to meet the needs of these providers, GLHC uses its interface engine to create a .pdf formatted notification report pulling out the data from the raw HL7 message. Once completed, GLHC reformats the inbound HL7 ADT message to instead look like a standard HL7 Result message and attach the newly created report to it. GLHC uses their standard result delivery process to send those notifications to a GLHC inbox deployed within the office. Providers not otherwise able to get notifications can see -- in near real time -- patient who have been admitted and/or discharged from inpatient, urgent care, and emergency settings. This improves their opportunity for additional reimbursement and enhances the speed with which patients are scheduled into the office to ensure compliance with discharge instructions, resulting in reduced readmissions.
