Advanced Features
he EV1000 Clinical Platform NI provides users with
the opportunity to upgrade the EV1000 system with
advanced features and usability. For more information
regarding these features, contact your local sales
representative or Edwards Technical Services. See Appendix
E, for contact information.
HIS Connectivity
The EV1000 system has the ability to
interface with the Hospital Information
Systems (HIS) to send and receive patient
demographics and physiological data. The EV1000 system
supports Health Level 7 (HL7) messaging standard and
implements Integrating Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) profiles.
HL7's version 2.x messaging standard is the most commonly
used means for electronic data exchange in the clinical
domain. The EV1000 HL7 communication protocol, also
referred to as HIS Connectivity, facilitates the following
types of data exchanges between the EV1000 monitor and
external applications and devices:
• Sending of physiological data from the EV1000 system to
the HIS and/or medical devices
• Sending of physiological alarms and device faults from the
EV1000 system to the HIS
• EV1000 system retrieval of patient data from the HIS.
Patient Demographic Data
The EV1000 system, with HIS Connectivity enabled can
retrieve patient demographics data from enterprise appli-
cation. Once the HIS Connectivity feature is enabled, the
Patient Query screen allows the user to search for a patient
based on name, patient ID or room and bed information. The
Patient Query screen can be used to retrieve patient
demographics data when starting a new patient or to associate
the patient physiological data being monitored on the
EV1000 system with a patient record retrieved from HIS.
Once a patient is selected form the query results, patient
demographics data is displayed in the New Patient Data
screen.
The user can enter or edit patient height, weight, age, gender,
room and bed information on this screen. The selected or
updated patient data can be saved by touching the Home
button. Once patient data is saved, the EV1000 system
generates unique identifiers for the selected patient and sends
out this information in outbound messages with physiological
data to the enterprise applications.
Patient Physiological Data
The EV1000 system can send monitored and calculated
physiological parameters in outbound messages. Outbound
messages can be sent to one or more configured enterprise
