GE HEALTHCARE DIRECTION FC091194, REVISION 11 VIVID 7 SERVICE MANUAL 3 - 98 Section 3-10 - Connectivity Setup - Software v3.x 3-10-9 HL7 Communication Setup - Software v3.x 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 connec ting to the HIS, demographic information i.e Patient ID, Name, Gender etc. can be pulled from the HI S, 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. 3-10-9-2 Preparations 1.) Before you can set up the HL 7 Communicat ion, 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) Typical source for this information is the Mitra support personnel. Figure 2-2 Pre-quote Wo rksheet for DICOM Network Information on page 2-14 can be used for gathering this information. 2.) Provide the computer name of each EchoPAC PC Workstation and Vivid 7 being configured, to the Mitra support personnel. 3-10-9-3 Configuration of Modality Worklist Services - Software v3.x Identify Dataflow to be Used 1.)
