Configure the TS Mirth ADT Interface Generator for HL7 Integration
Learn how to create and configure the TS Mirth ADT Interface Generator for HL7 Integration. Implement inbound and outbound interfaces and deploy HL7 channels with ease.
Database Connection Section
As a first step, “TS Mirth ADT Interface Generator” will require Mirth database information, which was set by taking it from “Mirth Connect Server Manager-Database tab” by using the following fields.
- Database Type – Select from the two options given: SQL Server or MySQL
- Server Name or Server IP – Server name or Server IP through which the database can be accessed.
- Database Name – Specify Mirth Connect database name.
- Username – Specify the username to connect to the Mirth Connect database.
Specify the information described above on the screen, connection can also be tested using the “Test Connection” button. Now press the “Next” button, the application will check the Mirth database, and after validation, it will show the screen for channel/interface creation.
In the Second step, there is an option given to select the type of interface that needs to be created. “Create Outbound Interface” or “Create Inbound Interface” by selecting which appropriate section that will be enabled.
Create Interfaces Section
On selection of “Create Outbound Interface”, “TS Mirth ADT Interface Generator” will require the following information for the creation of the outbound channel/interface.
- Interface Name – Interface name is the title of the channel/interface that will be shown in mirh.
- Database Server Type – Select from the two options given: SQL Server or MySQL
- Source Database Server – Server name or Server IP through which interface source database can be accessed
- Database Name – Specify source database name for interface.
- Username – Specify the username to connect to the Mirth Connect database.
- Password – Specify the password to connect to the Mirth Connect database.
- LLP Destination Server – Destination Server server name or IP where HL7 message needs to be sent.
On selection of “Create Inbound Interface”, “TS Mirth ADT Interface Generator” will require the following information for the creation of the inbound interface.
- Interface Name – The Interface name is the title of the channel/interface that will be shown in Mirth.
- LLP Source Server – Server name or Server IP of the source from which the message will be accepted.
- LLP Source Port – Port on which the interface will be accepting the message.
- Database Server Type – Select from the two options given: SQL Server or MySQL.
- Destination Database Server – Server name or IP on which the destination database is installed.
- Database Name – Provide the destination database name.
- Username – Specify the username to connect to the destination database.
- Password – Specify the password to connect to the destination database.
Deploying Channels Section
Both outbound and inbound channels will be created by following the above-described procedure. Now, outbound and inbound channels should be deployed so that they can pull or receive the message from the source database or source interface, respectively.
Open Mirth Administrator from Program -> Mirth Connect, launch the Mirth Administrator. Click on the “Channels” link to view the list of channels under “Mirth Connect Menu Options” as shown in figure below.
The following figure will appear, which will show the list of interfaces. For deployment right right-click on the channel and click on the “Deploy Channel” option to deploy it. Perform the same procedure for Outbound and Inbound Channels/Interfaces
Now, outbound will start pulling the data from the source database, and after transformation and converting it into the proper HL7 message, it will send the message to the Inbound interface. Inbound channel will accept the message, and after validation, it will store the message in the destination database and send the acknowledgment back to the source interface.
