Description
Description
The CASE program supports communication with administrative tools
via the following interfaces:

GDT (German medical device data standard)

BDT (German medical data standard)

HL7 (requires XEMR option)
Note
Please refer to the separate descriptions supplied.
If the program is used in conjunction with an administrative tool, the
patient file is always managed in the administrative tool while the test
data are managed in the CASE program. In this case you will also select
the patient in the administrative tool and enter height and weight.
After selecting the patient, you choose the test type. This will
automatically transfer you to CASE which you operate as usual. If you
wish to select another patient, you will have to exit the examination
program and choose the patient in the administrative tool.
After ending the test and terminating the examination program, the
most important data, but no curves, will be transferred to the
administrative tool.
Dialog between the administrative tool and CASE:

start of the administrative tool

selection of the patient

display of the patient's medical record

selection of an examination (start of CASE)

acquisition of a new test (ECG, spirogram, etc.)

termination of the examination program

transfer of test data to the administrative tool
When running the CASE program in conjunction with an administrative
tool, the functions
selecting another patient, admitting a new patient are
not available.
The patient is admitted to the administrative tool with last name, first
name, patient ID, date of birth, height and weight.
Note
GE Healthcare is not in a position to guarantee full compatibility of
administrative tool with CASE in all situations.
