Vendor Interface

Building an interface to another Vendor's software is done in two parts

Part 1 is PBClinic and Part 2 Mirth Connect

PBClinic starts the process by adding a record to the to the VendorInterfaceQueue table whenver either of the two conditions below occur

1) A modification to the patient demographic record occurs (add, modification)

2) A modification to the patient insured information record occurs (add, modification)

Part 2 utilizes Mirth Connect

Mirth Connect runs a process which continually monitors the VendorInterfaceQueue table for active records (new or modified)

Mirth Connect uses Postgres SQL server to access the VendorInterfaceQueue table

Mirth Connect then creates HL7 records and exports them into a specific directory and file which are later consumed by

the vendor software to utilize in the vendor software tables etc.
