Introduction

AdvaPACS supports HL7 messaging for integrating with external healthcare systems including RIS, HIS, EMR, practice management systems, and reporting platforms.

The HL7 interfaces provided by AdvaPACS support the exchange of patient demographics, orders, scheduling information, procedure updates, reports, and other workflow events commonly used in radiology environments.

Supported Versions

AdvaPACS supports HL7 v2.3.1 and v2.5.1 message formats. Unless otherwise specified, supported workflows can be implemented using either version, allowing integration with both legacy and modern healthcare systems.

Acknowledgement Mode

AdvaPACS supports HL7 Original Mode acknowledgements.

An ACK message is returned after a message has been validated and processed. If a message cannot be processed, an error acknowledgement is returned containing details of the validation or processing failure.

Conformance

The AdvaPACS HL7 interfaces are designed in accordance with the IHE Radiology Technical Framework and implement the relevant integration profiles for supported workflows. Learn more ›

Message Processing

AdvaPACS processes HL7 messages using a First In, First Out (FIFO) model. Messages are handled in the order they are received, ensuring that updates are applied in the correct sequence.

AdvaPACS Gateway will process messages synchronously and return an ACK with any error message that may have been generated upon processing the message. If the HL7 service is set into migration mode, messages will be ACK'd immediately and asynchronously processed.
