Clinical's Interpretation of Results

The Basic rules Clinical follows for interpreting incoming results are:

  • If the HL7/PIT file contains the test names, 'Letter', 'Summary', 'Correspondence' (or it is left blank) the result is classified as correspondence and will be stored in Letters tab.
  • If the HL7/PIT file contains the test name, 'Discharge Summary' it will be stored using the RSD options within MedicalDirector Clinical.
  • If the file is HL7 and contains an RSD segment (indicating a correspondence file), it will be stored based on the RSD options within Clinical.
  • All other incoming HL7 or PIT messages will be stored in the Results tab.
