Patient Portal Status

AdvaPACS supports updating a patient's Patient Portal Status through a custom HL7 ZAP segment.

This extension allows external systems such as RIS, PAS, or HIS platforms to indicate whether a patient has opted in or opted out of access to the AdvaPACS Patient Portal. When received, AdvaPACS updates the patient's portal status accordingly.

If Patient Portal functionality has not yet been configured in your AdvaPACS environment, refer to the Patient Portal configuration guide before using this extension.

Supported Message Types

The Patient Portal Status extension can be included in HL7 messages that contain patient demographic information, including:

  • ADT (Admission, Discharge, Transfer)
  • ORM / OMI (Order Messages)
