When you have corrected a record, manually update the OCS by sending a message via the interface tool.

At each stage of an event, HL7 messaging is used to automatically send messages to Order Comms to update the referring clinician. The main messages used are ‘Resend attend’ and ‘Resend report’ messages.

  1. Open the patient record.
  2. Right-click the event on the Events screen.
  3. Select Interfaces > Resend attend message (or whichever message is applicable).

Warning:

There is no unmerge HL7 message. If a patient record is unmerged or unlinked on Cris this will not unmerge the studies on PACS. They must be corrected manually. Events entered on the merged record will need to be corrected manually. See Event Correction.

Examples of automatic HL7 messages:

  • At midnight, an HL7 message updates the Day List.

  • At midnight, an HL7 message updates the Appointments List.

  • As patients are attended, an HL7 message populates the modalities (imaging machines), which lets radiographers know who has arrived.

  • If patient events are not appearing on the modality worklists, use Resend attend message.
