This document is intended for HIS and RIS providers, implementers and users of MedXChange DRSHD. It is assumed that the reader has a working understanding of HL7 and DICOM.

Scope

The scope of this document is to define the high level specification of the HL7 SIU^S12 message received by the DRSHD. The scope is limited to the HL7 fields and DICOM attributes mapping used for the modality worklist and image instance.

Remarks

The intent of the HL7 conformance statement is to provide knowledge to the implementer of the HIS based MWL query. It also provides information on how to allow the HL7 schedule message to achieve interoperability with the modality worklist. However, the information contained in the HL7 conformance statement is not sufficient to ensure that independent implementations will be able to function seamlessly.
