Data Loading
The universal loader program will take electronic feeds from any suppliers systems regardless of file type and process the data into the EpiQuest Live database.
The loader works in a unique way in that it will process all data even if it is erroneous. The data is then ready for immediate use and the system will flag any errors electronically. The ‘good’ data will remain usable with a note on screen indicating which data is missing or bad. Once errors have been corrected on the hospital system the data is automatically re-imported and the warning notes disappear.
Alerts can be set to tell the hospital system administrators if their own systems are down.
Alerts are set for missing file dumps, for instance if a flat file is used and dumped to a folder for our listener to process we can alert if the file has not arrived in the folder at the set time.
The HL7 listeners that we have built can listen to an unlimited number of feeds and we have built the listener as a multi-threaded process. We can handle synchronous feeds from unlimited feeds. This means that the system can ‘listen live’ to unlimited sources of data.
The information flow is LIVE.
