E CLAIMS MGMT ENGINE |
The ECME package needs to read the incoming ACK to
determine which Pharmacy Registration transmission message was accepted or
rejected by the other side of the interface. Once determining which message
the ACK refers to, the ECME can look up the original transmitted message for
further processing.

CONSULT/REQUEST TRACKING |
GMRC has an HL7 interface with a Referral &
Authorization System (RAS) database in the Austin FSC. Certain types of
consults are sent to RAS in support of Veterans being approved for community
(non-VA) care. Occasionally, there may be an issue in parsing the data sent
from GMRC to RAS. When this occurs, a mail message is generated from the data
in the ACK message. The mail message contains the Message ID of the offending
HL7 message. GMRC would like to extend the information in the mail message by
adding the consult record number. To do that, GMRC will take the Message ID
from the ACK, look up the associated HL7 Message Text, and then parse the
Message Text (772;200) in order to retrieve the consult record number.
