This Patch Addresses the Following NOIS Call:
---------------------------------------------
ISB-0901-31233, HL7 DNS uses and helpful Websites
==========================================================
Problem Scenario:
-----------------
Through monitoring the HL7 Network between Veterans Affairs Medical
Centers (VAMC) and the Master Patient Index (MPI), a need has arisen for
clarification on the use of HL7 and Domain Name Servers (DNS). Mainly, the
IP address where the HL7 Listener is running at the sites must match the
IP address associated with the HL7 domain name in the DNS.
Patch Solution:
---------------
The express purpose of this Informational Patch is to make sites aware of
the HL7 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) web site. It addresses
information on DNS support as it relates to HL7. Specifically, it provides
information on how to ensure that sites are correctly set up to use the
DNS with respect to HL7. This is addressed in the FAQ beginning at the
question "How do I correctly set up my site to use DNS?".
