HL7 Messages
The HL7 is an International messaging standard which has
been adopted nationally by the HEBE group and currently
the North Western, North Eastern, South Eastern and
Southern Health Boards are all developing or in the
process of rolling out this ‘end to end’ messaging facility.
We have also incorporated Healthlink into the system. As
hospitals come ‘on-line’ you will be able to download all
results from that hospital. This system is currently free to
users from the Department of Health and is applicable in
Health Board areas where the local Health Board is not
producing the HL7 message themselves.
Application forms for Healthlink are available from
www.healthlink.ie or on 01-8304470
These are the two categories of providers. So you can
contact Healthlink or your regional department of the HSE
to find out how to set up your regional messaging.
Although our system is set up to receive electronic lab
results they are not provided by Helix Health.
Downloading HL7 Messages
When you lab results come back, you will have to first
download them onto your pc and save the file in a
standard location which will be set up by Helix Health,
usually C:\HelixHealth\HL7Download.
The file will either come from Healthlink or your local
message provider as mentioned above.
