| INTEGRATED BILLING |
In the PFSS Project, a new module has been developed
within INTEGRATED BILLING in namespace IBB. Its purpose is to provide a
common interface for applications, which must send data to an external billing
system. All data is sent via HL7 messaging. The routines for data extraction
and message assembly are located in the IBB namespace.
Certain applications (e.g., Scheduling) will provide to IBB the Location of a
patient visit as a pointer to the HOSPITAL LOCATION file (#44). Each message
to the external billing system must also identify the Medical Center Division
of the sender.
The message builder code will obtain data from the DIVISION field (#15) by
direct global read of the zero-node; i.e., 15th piece of ^SC(D0,0).
