HL7 staging system

I have view a demonstration of the Electronic Messaging Staging Area developed in Utah. I think it's great! But are there other options on the market to make a comparison? As you all know, we will never receive perfect ELR. So we are looking to install a system to assist with finding improperly formatted data and fixing what we can. In Louisiana, we currently make due with Rhapsody but I am hoping there are other tools we could look to adopt. Any help or recommendations are greatly appreciated!

would love to see any demos of staging areas myself. good thread to start. Also maybe a good topic for the Feb ELR call as these staging areas may be needed for eCR as well?

Let me check in with my boss 😊

I like the idea of putting it on the Feb agenda also…

P.S. I sometimes work flexible hours, so while it suits me to email now, I don’t expect a response or action outside of your own working hours.

Nancy - could you give me some more context for what areas you ant to delve into? Just trying to sure I bring the right folks to the table to help you understand how we do some of our diverting.

We have a negative lab hold process we could discuss where we have labs send a separate neg file. We also for labs that can't do that divert negatives before they go into our Maven application. Negatives for probable or that match a person in Maven are brought back in.

Let me know what parts you want to review.

Thanks,

Can we discuss HL7 staging systems/approaches to handling non-positive ELR again during a future workgroup call?
Chris Baumgartner, Senior Data Exchange Manager
I'd be happy to review what we do in WA to hold negatives and let them process at times our system is not overloaded with positives...
