Medical Device Integration

Medical Device Integration allows Medtech Evolution to consume and process the various

reports generated by a medical device and import relevant medical records into the Patient

Inbox and Patient Screening modules.

Medtech has currently been configured to interact with following devices provided by Welch

Allyn – CardioPerfect Workstation.

Welch Allyn PC based ECG

Welch Allyn Ambulatory BP

Welch Allyn PC based Spirometer

More options for Medical Device Interfaces will be added as we receive requests from

customers to enable integration. If you have a specific medical device that you would like

Medtech to investigate integration with, please contact Medtech Support.

How It Works

The Medical Device connected to the Welch Allyn – CardioPerfect Workstation (CPWS)

performs the patient test and the test output generated by the Filelink process will be available

in a configured common path for the Medtech Services to process and import into the Patient

Inbox and Patient Screening modules in Medtech Evolution.

Medtech Evolution is configured for each vendor’s Medical Device. Separate configuration

needs to be done for various Medical Device types.


EMPOWERING HEALTH

Medical Device Interface setup in Medtech Evolution

File ► Options ► Medical Device Setup

Medical Device test output that needs to be imported into Medtech Evolution must be

configured within the setup.

Set the configuration in the Medical Device Interface setup as shown below:

Activate this Medical Device: Tick to activate this Medical Device to process and

import the Test Output.

Import Path: Specify the path where the ‘Test Output’ will be available.

Inbox Folder: Specify the folder in which the Test Output is to be displayed.

Measurement Mapping: Map the Screening Term and Measurement for measurements

that can be received from the Test Output.

o Measurements will be different for each Device Interface. Currently, Measurements

are available only for the below mentioned devices in Test Output:

Welch Allyn Ambulatory BP

Welch Allyn PC based Spirometer


EMPOWERING HEALTH

A double-click on Measurement will open the Screening mapping for the corresponding

measurement.

Important Note

The ‘Import Path’ configured in Medical Device interface setup in Medtech Evolution should

be same as the ‘Output Directory’ path configured in CPWS > File Link Preferences.


EMPOWERING HEALTH

Setup Required in CardioPerfect Workstation (CPWS)

CardioPerfect Workstation application is installed with the plug-in CardioPerfect File Link

program.

The File Link Preferences window in CardioPerfect Workstation provides the ability to configure:

where the output files will be created

how the file name will appear

when the files will be created

Click the Preferences menu item on the File Link tab to set preferences.

File Location: Enter drive and directory location that CPFileLink will store the output files

in. The ‘Import Path’ configured in Medical Device interface setup in Medtech

Evolution should be same as the ‘Output Directory’ path configured in File Link

Preferences.

File Format: The File Format options provide a user-configurable format for the file name

of output files. Select the fields and a delimiter to use in the file name. It is

recommended that the file name should start with ‘Test Type’ and End with ‘Test Date’.


EMPOWERING HEALTH

File Type: The File Types section provides the ability to choose the image output

type. The Image Type should be selected as ‘PDF’. Only PDF format can be processed

and imported in Medtech Evolution.

Important Note

The checkboxes at the bottom right side of the Preferences screen control when output files

are automatically generated, and the type of output. In this section, both Image and XML file

should be selected together for any stage of file creation; because the XML file contains

patient demographics and discreet test data in a predefined metadata format, which can

be imported into Medtech Evolution and matched to a Patient.

Using a Medical Device from CardioPerfect Workstation (CPWS)

CREATE PATIENT

With Welch Allyn CardioPerfect Workstation, you can keep track of your patient administration.

You can store various kinds of patient information, such as patient name and number, address

information and medical data that is important for tests.

The following fields in the Patient card window should be recorded in order to match the Test

Output with the patient available in Medtech Evolution:

Number

Last Name

First name

DOB


EMPOWERING HEALTH

It is recommended that the Number field in CardioPerfect Workstation Patient card is used to

record the Patient NHI.

It is also assumed that same patient will be available in Medtech Evolution (Manually Created)

with the same set of information to match the Test Output against the patient, failing which,

the patient record will be Unmatched and the user has to manually match the patient.

CREATE TEST

Once you have created a patient card or selected an existing one, you are ready to run a

test on the patient.

Welch Allyn CardioPerfect Workstation offers these diagnostical tests:

ECG

Spirometry

ABP

It is recommended that Referring/Ordering/Attending physician is provided in the test

information in order to match the respective attention provider in Medtech Evolution; failing

which, it will be matched to the default provider in Medtech Evolution.


EMPOWERING HEALTH

Viewing Medical Device Test Output in Medtech Evolution

Once the Test is performed and Test Output is generated and available in the configured

Import path in Medtech Evolution, then the Medtech Service will process the Test Output

immediately and import it into the corresponding folder in Medtech Evolution Inbox and

match it with the respective Patient and Provider.

On filing the Inbox Record, relevant Screening entries will be created in Patient Screening

based on the screening mapping provided in the Medical Device Interface Setup.

Important Note

For the import to happen seamlessly, ensure that the Medtech Service is running on the

Application/File Server.

Consultation Enhancements

Go Dot in Consultation Notes

Patient ► Consultation

When setting up a clinical keyword it is possible to add a Go Dot ‘…’ within the description/

Consultation template that requires a response.

While entering consultation notes, users can use the preconfigured keyword to enter common

comments and use the “Go Dot…” function to fill in the “blanks”.

As an example, from within the consultation screen enter a full stop followed by the clinical

keyword (e.g. .Urine) and hit the enter key. This will populate the consultation screen with the

keyword description with ‘…’ configured in setup. Using the contextual menu (right click) select

‘Go Dot…’ or press Ctrl + G. This will take the cursor to the beginning of each of the three dots

to fill in the missing information in a sequence.

Associating Accident in Consultation on Un-parking ACC45

Patient ► Consultation

Previously, the ‘Accident’ recorded in Consultation Notes will associate automatically only

when a New ACC45 is created. Now, this function has been enhanced to associate the

Accident with a consultation when the existing parked ACC45 is Un-Parked if the ACC45 has

been created within the past 24 hours and the Consultation is already open for the Patient.
