3-10-9-1 Introduction
The procedures below tell you how to set up the Vivid 7 so it can connect to the Hospital Information
System (HIS), via the Vivid HL7 Gateway. By connecting to the HIS, demographic information i.e Patient
ID, Name, Gender etc. can be pulled from the HIS, reducing “double-work” and typing errors.
Patient Reports can be sent back to the HIS for storage together with the rest of the Patient records.
