Hello,

As EPIC has no public API to attach PDF to the patient record I have contacted epic support. I received this documentation link in reply.
Incoming Scanned Document Link Interface Technical Specification (1).pdf (228.3 KB)

The document suggest to add PDF in HL7 format, but again I have no idea on the endpoint it should be post. We getting PDF from ECG centralized system. We converted it into Base64 and add to the HL7 message.

How to set the HL7v2 interface to post patient record with attachment.

Please guide me.

Thanks,
Rekha

Hello,

I will explain the scenario in depth. I want to post the ECG report of the patients which was stored in the shared network . Those patients are already in EPIC which should have been posted by the hospital. I would be getting the some identity of the patient to search for.

The problem is, Epic have no public api or endpoints to attach the PDF to the existing patient record. When I contacted them I just got this documentation. I dont know how to configure HL7 V2 interface. When I seek epic support I am keep getting same replies that consists of documentation links and vendor services link.

Is that possible to transfer these ECG records into Openemr from Openemr to EPIC? Please help me with guidance.

Thanks,
Rekha

Ah! One would think EPIC community will have samples for this.

As far as I know there is no builtin EPIC connectivity in OpenEMR. Even if there is one, involving additional EMR purely as pass-thru system will make the process subject to OpenEMR modifications in addition to expected EPIC updates.

Best.
