Sending Reports to IntelePACS 3Sending and Migrating Historical ReportsIf your system will be sending historical reports to IntelePACS, these will be the first,and possibly only, HL7 records for prior exams. To ensure that IntelePACS cancorrectly associate these reports to prior exams, it is important that your HL7 systemprovides all of the fields that would normally be sent at different stages of an order’slife cycle.When historical reports are presented to a user in a patient’s list of prior exams, thesefields are used to provide a brief overview of the study. It is particularly important tosend this information:• Patient identification information in PID-3, PID-5, PID-7, and PID-8.• Entering organization code in ORC-17.• Study description in OBR-4.2• Relevant study dates in OBR-6, OBR-7 and OBR-8. If you have only one timestampfor the study, you can replicate it in OBR-6, OBR-7 and OBR-8.• Accession number in OBR-18.• Modality code in OBR-24.• If you have information for the referring physician that should also be included inPV1-8 or OBR-16.Below is an example of a prior report with all of the required fields filled:MSH|^~\&|RIS|BCREEK|INTELEPACS|Intelerad|20080124164827||ORU^R01|||2.3PID|||1234||Brown^Roger^||19700203|MPV1||||||||MHIBROY^Hibroy^MORC||885|885||ZZ||||||||||||BCROBR||885|885|MRWL^NECK||200710191645|200710191700|200710191700||||||||||885|1|1||||CR||||||||48^Doe^John^ ^^200901161744|||52^Lee^Hugh^^^200901170834OBX|||||This is an historical report.||||||FDescriptions of Fields for Report MessagesThis section describes some of the fields in report messages.Patient ID (PID-3)IntelePACS only accepts the first field component, PID-3.1, for the patient ID.
