All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Introduction *IMPORTANT NOTICE: This Companion Guide can be used for both CPS & Centricity EMR. The majority of screen shots are from CPS 10. Any major differences between versions are included in this documentation, and 2 sets of screen shots are included when noteworthy. LinkLogic enables the efficient and intelligent sharing of data between Centricity and a variety of external systems, such as practice management, transcription, laboratory, hospital information, document scanning systems and clinical data repositories. LinkLogic uses interfaces to share data. Scenario: Monitoring LinkLogic is essential in ensuring that data from outside systems is successfully imported into Centricity; therefore, you must know how to navigate your way through LinkLogic. Typical Staff Responsible and/or impacted with this Process: LinkLogic Manager, Administration Set up Staff Considerations: You will need to designate a staff member who will serve as the LinkLogic Manager. The LinkLogic Manager will monitor messages in LinkLogic and resolve errors. This staff member will also alert others to possible interface issues as applicable. Security / Privileges must be granted to access LinkLogic. 5 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Enable LinkLogic on a Workstation CPS: Assigning applicable security to LinkLogic will enable the module for the user. Centricity EMR: In addition to enabling privileges in Setup, LinkLogic must be enabled during installation of the EMR client. 6 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Jobs LinkLogic queues and processes jobs to import or export data. The Data Transfer Station handles jobs automatically. Jobs can also be imported or exported manually from the jobs section of LinkLogic. When error files are opened up in the errors section but canceled out rather than resolving, this causes jobs to appear in the Jobs section. These jobs will need to be processed manually to place the error files back in the errors section in order to resolve the corresponding errors. “Manual” will appear in the state column when this is necessary. You should organize the jobs section to “All Stations” & save as your preference to ensure that you can see and process all jobs that appear in “Manual” state when this occurs. 7 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Process Jobs in “Manual” State To process jobs in “manual” state: 1. Highlight job(s). 2. Click the Process button to send job(s) back to the errors section. 3. Also, click OK to any screens that pop up during this process. 8 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information DTS Monitor The DTS Monitor section will show you whether or not the Data Transfer Station (DTS) is “active”. You should see a line item that states the DTS Status is “Active”. If there is not a line item in the DTS section that states that the Data Transfer Station (DTS) is “Active”, or if the DTS Status is “Error”, the DTS needs to be restarted. 9 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Activity Log The Activity Log lists notes, warnings, and error messages for every job manually imported or exported, and for every job the DTS processes. If you import and export many jobs, the log can get extremely large. If the activity log gets too many messages in it, the DTS can stop processing until the activity log is cleaned out. Under most circumstances, it is important that the activity log be organized so that messages are viewed for All Stations. This should be saved as your preference, which will ensure that you are viewing ALL messages when clearing the log. 10 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Activity Log Message Types The activity log message type is indicated in the “severity” column. The 3 different message types are: • • • Error Warning Note Error messages indicate a possible problem in importing or exporting data. Warning messages inform you about LinkLogic actions, indicate missing data in optional fields, or data that is not used by the EMR application. Note messages primarily convey information. You typically do not need to take any action. Go to “LinkLogic Activity Log Message Codes” in HELP (F1) to understand the notes, warnings, and errors that you see in the Activity Log. 11 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Filter to Specific Message Codes Filtering to specific message codes is one way to organize the current view, making it easier to clear multiple items at one time. In the message code range area, enter the minimum & maximum code range, and then click the OK button. Only messages in the specified range will be seen until the view is reorganized. To view every instance of a specific message code, enter the same number in the minimum code range field and the maximum code range field. Messages in the activity log can also be organized to specific dates, severity, and/or interface type. 12 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Removing Activity Log Messages To clear messages in the current view: 1. Click the SELECT button, which will highlight every* message in the current view. 2. Once all messages are highlighted, click the REMOVE button. 3. After all messages in the current view are removed, click the ORGANIZE button again, and then click OK to return to your normal preferred view. *The maximum number of messages that the select button will highlight is 14,000, so you may have to follow this process multiple times to remove all instances. NOTE: Activity log messages should not be cleared out prior to working the associated errors in the errors section, as these messages can sometimes be helpful when resolving the errors. 13 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Automatically Manage Activity Log CPS: Go to Administration>System>LinkLogic>Defaults. Centricity EMR: Go to Setup>Settings>LinkLogic>Defaults. To automatically remove error* entries from the Activity Log: 1. Check “Automatically remove error entries from the Activity Log”. 2. Enter the number of days in the “Remove entries after” field. To automatically remove warning and note* entries: 1. Check “Automatically remove warnings and note entries from the Activity Log”. 2. Enter the number of days in the “Remove entries after” field. NOTE: Activity log messages should not be cleared out prior to working the associated errors in the errors section, as these messages can sometimes be helpful when resolving the errors. Be sure you set the “number of days” fields far enough out so that the activity log messages are not removed sooner than you will be working the errors. *Message types appear in the severity column of the Activity Log. 14 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Exclude Messages From Activity Log Every time a job is queued, LinkLogic adds message code 7 to the Activity Log. LinkLogic adds message code 1 every time a job completes. If you don’t want these messages to accumulate in the Activity Log, you can modify a configuration file to filter or exclude these messages from the log. To exclude specific messages from the Activity Log: 1. Navigate to folder containing CPS or Centricity EMR. Examples - CPS: C:\Program Files\Centricity Practice Solution\Client. Centricity EMR: C:\Program Files\Centricity EMR 2. Locate & open the file for your version of the product in Notepad. (CPS: emr.ini / Centricity EMR: cfw.ini) 3. Find the L3IgnoreMessages entry. 4. Type the message codes you don’t want to see, separated by commas. For example: L3IgnoreMessages=1,7 5. Shut down & restart CPS on the workstation or the Data Transfer Station (as applicable). **This must be done all on workstations with access to Linklogic, including the Data Transfer Station.** 15 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Errors When you import and export data, errors can occasionally occur. Errors can occur for many reasons. The following list shows some of the reasons for errors: • LinkLogic can’t process the import file, possibly due to a patient mismatch or the wrong data format. • LinkLogic can’t find the responsible provider. • LinkLogic can’t find a relationship for the data, or the header record in the data file isn’t correct. • LinkLogic can’t process the job, due to a missing configuration file or a bad export segment. • LinkLogic can’t import the data because the patient’s chart is being updated by another user. • LinkLogic can’t find the appointment book or the appointment type. The Errors section in LinkLogic contains the Pending Errors to be resolved as well as associated Activity Log messages for each error. The associated activity log messages can sometimes be used to help determine what you need to do to resolve the errors. 16 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information File Extensions / Error Types .HR = Lab Results, PatientLink, Docutrak Observations .HD = Demographic Messages .HT = Docutrak and Noteslink Documents .SL = Scheduling Messages The file extensions shown above are the most common, but this is not an allinclusive list. 17 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Viewing HL7 Files HL7 (Health Level 7) is a standard for electronic data exchange in healthcare environments. LinkLogic’s use of this format is defined in the Interface Specifications for each interface type. These specifications can be found in Managing Interfaces for CPS on the Support web site (see next page for more information). The error files you will work with will be HL7 files. To avoid horizontal scrolling through the messages, set viewing options to “Wrap to Window”. If Using WordPad to view the files: 1. Click on the “View” menu. 2. Click Options. 3. Click Wrap to Window, and then click OK. If Using Notepad to view the files: 1. Click on the “Format” menu. 2. Click “Word Wrap”. 18 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Typical Segments in HL7 Messages MSH = message segment header /-/ comment section describing the error /-/ EVN = event segment – contains message date / time information PID = patient ID segment – contains demographic information PV1 = patient visit segment – contains provider and location of care information ORC, OBR = lab orders OBX = observation / result NTE = notes & comments HL7 Specifications can be downloaded for more information if desired.

When counting fields, empty fields are also counted. Segment names and field numbers are referenced together for identification purposes. Example: PID-1, PID-2, PID-3, etc. Error messages frequently refer to specific segments and fields, where data is missing or formatted incorrectly. 20 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Typical Error: Demographics Interface Scenario: There is an error in LinkLogic stating a required field is missing. Note: This scenario is more typical for Centricity EMR, but could also be applicable if demographic data is electronically sent from another system to CPS. Typical Staff Responsible and/or impacted with this Process: LinkLogic Manager, Administration Set up Staff Errors referring to missing or bad demographic information should NOT be resolved in LinkLogic. These should be resolved in the originating system. For this example, you should: 1. Find the patient’s date of birth. 2. Enter it into the patient’s record in the originating system. (Doing this will generate a new HL7 message.) 3. Verify that the record was created / updated in CPS or Centricity EMR. 4. Remove the original error from the errors section of LinkLogic. Always follow the procedure above to ensure that data is kept in synch between systems. Also remember that the originating system is the MASTER system and that Centricity is the RECEIVING system. 21 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Typical Error: Demographics Interface Scenario: There is an error in LinkLogic stating the race field is too long. Note: This scenario is more typical for Centricity EMR, but could also be applicable if demographic data is electronically sent from another system to CPS.

All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Cross-Reference Files Some interfaces require the creation & use of cross reference files. Cross reference files translate data field values to values that can be recognized by Centricity on import or the external system on export. For example, if you import laboratory results, you will need a crossreference file to translate laboratory test result codes to Centricity observation term codes. Sample cross-reference files are included on the next few pages of this Guide. See Managing Interfaces manual for your version of Centricity for complete information as well as examples of additional cross-reference file types. 36 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Sample Cross-Reference File: Lab Results I = Import Relationship The first value after I = laboratory test result code The last value = matching code for Centricity observation term Scenario: You need to create a lab cross-reference file for your lab results interface to ensure lab results populate patient flowsheets. Typical Staff Responsible and/or impacted with this Process: LinkLogic Manager, Administration Set up Staff, IT Staff Considerations: You will need to get a list of laboratory result codes or a lab result codes “compendium” from your lab vendor or lab system. You will need a spreadsheet of Centricity observation terms with associated obs term codes. 37 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Sample Cross-Reference File: Document Types I = Import Relationship The first value after I = document type being imported from outside system The last value = corresponding document type abbreviation in Centricity This type of cross reference file is needed when importing scanned documents. Scenario: You need to create a document types cross-reference file for a document interface. Typical Staff Responsible and/or impacted with this Process: LinkLogic Manager, Administration Set up Staff, IT Staff Considerations: You will need to obtain a list of document types for the incoming data. You will need to map the incoming document types to Centricity document type abbreviations. 38 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Sample Cross-Reference File: Providers I = Import Relationship The first value after I = Provider’s UPIN number The last value = corresponding Provider’s user ID in Centricity Using this type of cross reference file ensures that lab results and other documents go to the corresponding provider’s desktop. Scenario: You need to create a provider cross-reference file for a lab results interface. Typical Staff Responsible and/or impacted with this Process: LinkLogic Manager, Administration Set up Staff, IT Staff Considerations: You will need to obtain a list of provider identifiers for the incoming data. Typical identifiers might be UPIN or NPI numbers. You will need to map the incoming provider identifiers to Centricity providers’ user IDs. 39 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Sample Cross-Reference File: Locations of Care I = Import Relationship The first value after I = Location or Facility Number from Outside System The last value = corresponding Location of Care abbreviation in Centricity Scenario: You need to create a location of care cross-reference file for a lab results interface. Typical Staff Responsible and/or impacted with this Process: LinkLogic Manager, Administration Set up Staff, IT Staff Considerations: You will need to obtain a list of location or facility codes for the incoming data.

All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary Information Maintaining Cross-Reference Files Cross-Reference files should be updated any time your organization adds new appointment types, resources / books, providers, facilities / locations of care, or document types. The lab results cross-reference file should also be edited any time your organization begins ordering new laboratory tests to ensure that the corresponding lab results will populate flowsheets. To edit cross reference files, navigate to the LinkLogic folders located on the Data Transfer Station (DTS) or other designated network location. You will need to locate the drive on the DTS or other designated network location where LinkLogic is installed.* The files will be located in LinkLogic’s config\local folder on the network. Each file will have an .xrf extension. Example CPS path: <Drive on your DTS or other location>\Program Files\ Centricity Practice Solution\Client\llogic\config\local Example Centricity path: <Drive on your DTS or other location>\Program Files\ Centricity EMR\llogic\config\local To Edit: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Open the file you want to edit, using Notepad. Go to the very end of the file contents, using CTRL-END. On a new line, add another I with a comma. Add the new information, making sure to follow the same formatting you see in the file. Add each new item as applicable, per instructions in steps 3 & 4 above. Save & close the file when finished. Simultaneously press the following keys on your keyboard & release: CTRLSHIFT-D. This will clear the LinkLogic cache. (Alternatively, you can restart the DTS.) After using CTRL-SHIFT-D, click OK to the pop-up stating that the LinkLogic cache will be destroyed the next time a job is run. *Check with your organization’s network administrator if you cannot locate the crossreference files you need to edit. 43 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company.

Confidential and Proprietary Information MIK Mapping Customers with separate stand-alone Centricity Practice Management and EMR databases use the Millbrook Integration Kit (MIK) to map data fields between PM and EMR. Similar to cross-reference files, the MIK translates incoming and outgoing data fields to values that can be recognized by both Centricity Practice Management and EMR. The MIK is a component of Centricity Bridge, which is a service that synchronizes data between Centricity Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Centricity Practice Management (PM). Centricity Bridge allows patient demographic, scheduling, and procedure data to be shared between the applications. The next few pages contain basic mapping instructions. For complete information, refer to the Centricity Bridge Installation Guide: Centricity EMR: http://support.centricityservices.com/download/centricity_bridge/centricity_bridge_i nstallation_guide.pdf CPS: http://centricitypractice.gehealthcare.com/downloads/centricity_bridge/centricity_br idge_installation_guide.pdf Very Important: Mapping should be updated as soon as possible any time your organization adds new appointment types, resources, doctors, or facilities to avoid LinkLogic errors. 44 Copyright 2012 General Electric Company.
