3-7-5 Setup Connection to HL7 Server in a Network
3-7-5-1 Introduction
The procedures below describe how to set up the Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N workstation 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 retrieved 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.
3-7-5-2 Preparations
1.) Before you can set up the HL 7 Communication, you need to collect some information:
- The IP address of the Vivid HL7 Gateway
- Port Number used by the Vivid HL7 Gateway (Default port: 3320)
Typically, source for this information is the Mitra support personnel.
The ‘Worksheet for DICOM Network Information” on page 2-12 can be used for gathering this
information.
2.) Provide the computer name of each EchoPAC PC Workstation and Vivid S5 N or Vivid S6 N being
configured to the Mitra support personnel.
