HL7 Version 2.7.1 Implementation Guide: Message Transformations with OASIS Tracking of Emergency Patients (TEP), Release 1

DESCRIPTION

The scope of this project was to write a specification that can be used to develop transforms of the OASIS Emergency Data eXchange Language (EDXL) TEP 1.1 data that properly map to the appropriate HL7 v2.7.1 messages used in the healthcare setting. It also includes the specification for transforming an HL7 v2.7.1 message to a EDXL-TEP 1.1 message if a patient must be transported from the healthcare facility by emergency services. The project produced a specification for the bidirectional data transforms between EDXL-TEP 1.1 and HL7 v2.7.1 messages, useful in both normal operations and in emergency situations. The EDXL-TEP 1.1 standard records all aspects of patient information and care from initial encounter with emergency services who utilize EDXL-TEP for patient transport(s) and continuum of care to admittance to a healthcare facility. This implementation guide addresses an ontological matching between EDXL-TEP 1.1 and HL7 v2.7.1 messages. This document includes concepts, vocabulary and type conversions. Both EDXL-TEP and HL7 messages are international standards, and it is anticipated that there will be adoption in multiple countries.
