Connectivity

Question 1

T/F: quoting the connectivity package will allow you to send to both PCs and EMR

Answer 1

True. The EMR connectivity package contains both DICOM and the ability to integrate directly with the EMR

Question 2

DICOM can speak HL7 and EMR

Answer 2

True. The DataMediatOr speaks HL7 and EMR

Question 3

An EMR can always be used in place of a PACS server for an account

Answer 3

False. Some customers will not have an EMR that has storage, therefore will still utilize a PACS system to store their surgical images.

Question 4

T/F: with the EPIC connectivity package a customer can pull information on from the MPI or MWL pre-op and push information to the BLOB server post op.

Answer 4

True

Question 5

An EMR can always be used in place of a PACS server for an account

Answer 5

True?

Question 6

An EMR connectivity package can be used for an EPiC customer who wants to save to PACS instead of the blob server

Answer 6

True

Question 7

VNA. What is it?

Answer 7

Vendor Neutral Archive.

It operates like a PACS system. It’s the connection between one PACS system and another imaging system. (ie GE and Siemens)

Question 8

The EMR connectivity package enables customers to send directly to EPiC, Cerner, AGFA and Meditek

Answer 8

False

Question 9

DICOM needs to be purchased separately and added to the connectivity package.

Answer 9

False

Question 10

Quoting the EMR connectivity package will give the customer the ability to save to PACS and/or an EMR

Answer 10

True

Question 11

DICOM is the language translator in which the sdc3 needs to wrap its files to communicate with the rest of the hospital systems

Answer 11

True

Question 12

DICOM allows my account to save to PACS and/or an EMR as well as DataMediatOR

Answer 12

False. Only PACS, EMR requires EMR connectivity package, DataMediatOr requires HL7 integration

Question 13

What is MWL?

Answer 13

Modality Work List. A work order (prescription for surgery) is created for surgery similar to the radiology department, which is saved on the MWL, and therefore the SDC3 can pull in patient information from the MWL via DICOM

Question 14

What are the required steps to pull patient info from the MWL?

Answer 14

The SDC3 must have DICOM software installed. MWL must be selected under the patient information tab as well as the PACS system, and the nurse will be able to select the list and then select the patient.

Question 15

Why is DICOM important for EMR integration?

Answer 15

Not all EMR’s have storage for case images will still need to be saved back to a PACS system and a link will need to be created by hospital IT to the PACS system so the doc can view all images from one EMR system (computer screen)

Question 16

PACs systems are common in hospitals for storing images because they are easy to integrate and are low cost options

Answer 16

True

Question 17

A customer doesn’t have a morality work list (MWL) and they do not want to set one up. However, they want to be able to integrate and save using HL7. They can use DICOM instead.

Answer 17

False.

Question 18

What is HL7?

Answer 18

Hospital Language Seven. This is the language in which all hospital systems speak.

Question 19

What is DataMediatOR?

Answer 19

A software that serves as a central point of integration between the hospital information systems and the medical systems.

Scheduling Interface Unsolicited messages generated from Electronic Health Record systems are sent to DataMediatOR and made accessible to connected devices.

Question 20

DataMediatOR is compatible with DICOM,XML, and HL7 languages

Answer 20

True

Question 21

What are the main message types of DataMediatOR?

Answer 21

ADT (admit discharge and transfer)

ORM - Order Message (General order message used to transfer info about any order placed within hospital network).

Question 22

Can DataMediatOR send to PACS?

Answer 22

DM has DICOM in it to enable sending to PACS — or it can facilitate FTP transfer of data that enables EMR to tap into folder on network which DM sends to, allowing integration into EMR

Question 23

DataMediatOR has remote support. True or false.

Answer 23

True. Stryker Comm supports DM via a software application called iTivity. iTivity allows engineers and tech support reps to troubleshoot and resolve problems.

Question 24

DICOM speaks HL7 and EMR

Answer 24

False. DataMediatOR speaks HL7 and EMR

Question 25

There is a difference how sdc connects with EMR

Answer 25

Sdc requires that a Modality Work List or MPI is available for automating patient information. , as well as outputting DICOM to a DICOM destination, such as PACs. If DM is present, the sDC will become HL7 compatible, allowing the information to push to a DICOM or EMR destination

Question 26

PowerShare requires an internet connection.

Answer 26

True. You can use WiFi or LAN line

Question 27

PowerShare sends surgical images

Answer 27

False. Does not store images

Question 28

DICOM is required for this software

Answer 28

False. Only PowerShare package is required.

Question 29

Why would you use the wise receiver to move the sdc to a doc station in a trial when the customer has no interest in PACs/EMR integration?

Answer 29

Moving sdc to the doc statin creates extra space on the car that can be used to decrease clutter

Question 30

What is the minimum distance that should be maintained between transmitters and receivers?

Answer 30

40 feet

Question 31

Which system does the wise system use?

Answer 31

WHDI

Question 32

Will do com allow you to save to EMR?

Answer 32

No, only PACS. EMR requires EMR connectivity package, DataMediator requires HL7 integration

Question 33

An EMR connectivity package can be used for an EPIc customer who wants to save to PACs instead of the blob server

Answer 33

That’s right. DICOM can store images in PACs but can also connect with blob server and utilize MPI for front-loaded patient information

Question 34

DataMediator has remote support. True or false?

Answer 34

True. Communications supports DataMediator via a software application called iTivity. ITivity allows Stryker engineers and technical support reps to effectively troubleshoot problems. ITivity enables me he ability to SSH (Linux) or RDP (windows) into the OS as needed by Stryker. Activity logs are available in OS.

Question 35

What does DiCom stand for?

Answer 35

Digital Imaging and Communciation in Medicine. Language that allows the sdc to speak to other hospital systems.

Question 36

Who is DICOM important for EMR integration?

Answer 36

Not all EMRs have storage for case images and therefore the images will need to be saved back to a PACS system and link will need to be created by hospital IT to the PACS system so the doc can view all images from one EMR system (computer screen)

Question 37

What is the most common integration with Cerner and EpIC?

Answer 37

The most common integration with CERNER is through CAMM The most common integration with EPIC is through their BLOB server

Question 38

What is HL7?

Answer 38

Hospital Language Seven This is the language in which all hospital systems speak.

Question 39

What are the main message types of Data Mediator?

Answer 39

ADT - Admit Discharge and Transfer (carries patient demographics and trigger information to software applications) ORM- Order Message (general order message used to transfer info about any order placed within hospital network)
