Bakersfield Using Bi-Directional Interfacing with TrackCore and Meditech

Bi-Directional Interfacing is now occurring between TrackCore and Meditech’s ORM Application at three of the Catholic Healthcare West (CHW) facilities in the Bakersfield, CA area; Bakersfield Memorial Hospital, and the Mercy Hospitals of Bakersfield Campuses at Truxtun and Southwest.

As of late December 2010, inbound ADT messages from the Memorial, Truxtun and Southwest facilities have been flowing via HL7 to TrackCore. ADT messages containing patient data are flowing from Meditech and auto-populating fields within TrackCore’s implant record.

The completed TrackCore Log, containing the tissue or implant data, is then sent back to finalize Meditech’s item implantation record. Additionally, outbound TrackCore inventory consumption messages from these facilities are being received by Meditech via HL7.
