Guide to Downloading & Reviewing Bloods

Download the files If you are receiving messages from Healthlink, you will not need to download the file first (skip to

the next step). If you are not receiving Blood results through Healthlink, you will need to download

e.g. C:\HL7 Imports

Import the files into HPM

Import the HL7 message into the HPM application. Click on the ‘Administration’ tab and click on the

‘HL7 Tests’ icon.

Here you will be able to view any previous imports that you have done. If you want to view any

directory.

The list of files that you are about to import is listed in the above screen and is ticked. If there is

View and Match Results

During the import the system will attempt to match the results to the patients in the application

and the exams in the application.

The majority of the time this should succeed. It might fail in cases where the hospital have spelt the

patients name incorrectly for example or have spelt the exam name slightly different to the name of

the exam as in our system.

where the result has come from and the status of the result. There are two icons which can appear

in the status –

Test Unmatched – The name of the test result needs to be matched to a test in your own

exams.

To match an unmatched patient and test, highlight the result and click Match. The patient search

comes up first. The date of birth will automatically be entered in the search to find the matching

patient. You can enter in other search criteria if needed such as name, GMS number, etc.

results.

exam need to be matched up. Click on the name of the exam on the left of the screen and a list of

Guide to Cancer Referrals

Setting up Online Referrals Online referrals are sent through Healthlink. In order to do this, each Machine must be set up with

an individual Certificate which must be applied for through Healthlink. For more information on

setting up Certificates, you can go to www.healthlink.ie.

Once you have received your Certificates from Healthlink, you can contact Helix Health Customer

Support (01 4633098) to complete the setup process.

Sending an Online referral There are a number of types of cancer referrals that can be sent online through Healthlink from

HPM, for example:

1. Breast Cancer

2. Prostate Cancer

3. Lung Cancer

4. General Referral

For each of the above referral types, there is a form available which can be filled in and sent directly

to the Hospital via Healthlink.

To complete and send an online referral, complete the following steps:

1. Open the relevant patient’s chart

2. Press Documents drop down button in the ribbon.

3. Select Electronic Referral

4. Select a referral type from the drop down Menu at the bottom of the screen e.g. Breast

Cancer , Prostate Cancer, Lung Cancer, General Referral

5. Press Add to open the referral form.

6. Before the form opens, the system will check Healthlink for a match of the patient, i.e. if

there is any previous record of that patient. If a match patient is found their details will be

displayed on the form with their previous MRN number.

If not a default MRN will be picked for them which can be changed later.

7. Enter all the required details on the referral form. Each form has a number of required

fields indicated by *, such as Hospital, Priority, reason for referral, etc. Also there are a

number of automatically filled fields, such as Name, Date of Birth, Medical History, etc.

Complete the form as required and click OK.

8. You will be asked if you want to send the referral now. Press yes if you have entered all the

correct details and are ready to send the referral now. If you select no the form will be

saved and can be edited and sent at a later stage.

9. You will get an acknowledgement message for your referral to confirm the form is being

processed.

Alternatively, a message will appear if your form is rejected or failed to send. This may be

due to missing information on the form.

The referral form will be saved in the Cancer Referral section with the name of the refferal, the

date is was entered, and the Status of the referral. The status will either say rejected, or accepted.

From here you can also edit the referrals or add new referrals.
