Since we introduced our transaction import format for Medisoft we have had quite a few folks ask about importing HL7 data into Medisoft. The most common need for importing HL7 data seems to be laboratory data, other test data, or data from some external database system that is in use. Several of these customers have asked about importing HL7 into custom tabs in Medisoft. Working with HL7 involves a pretty substantial resource cost both in learning HL7 and developing the tools to import HL7 data.

Currently the Medisoft Communications Manager has some capability to send and receive HL7 data but that seems to be limited to connections with Practice Partner (a.k.a. Medisoft Clinical), RelayHealth, MediNotes, and SpringCharts.

We are evaluating the level of interest in projects of this nature. If you have an interest in importing HL7 data into Medisoft or exporting HL7 data from Medisoft please email or call us, we would be happy to hear from you even if you have already found a resolution to your needs.
