Lawson to EPIC Interfaces

We are in the process of implementing EPIC at one of our hospitals and we're looking at what potential interface opportunities there are that we can take advantage of at this time.

We currently use IC527 to send information to PICIS at this hospital and will need to replicate that process with EPIC/OpTime.

What are some of you doing for your Lawson to EMR interfaces?

Thank you.

We used IC527 with PICIS but went to a custom SQL going through Cloverleaf. This was to allow the inclusion of additional fields that are not part of the IC527.

The two big ones - In 9.0 Lawson there was no latex field, but we had the information in a user field. In 10 we now have a field, but you'd need to see if it's on IC527 - I don't know either way.

The second one was the Supply v Implant and Supply Type. This gets sticky between how Optime uses the information vs how Radiant does, but it's a combination of both the Use Identifier and the Generic from IC11.

We mark Implants with the "L" in use identifier (it's the drop down value, you cannot change it). If it's a supply, the generic is the Supply Type. If it's an Implant, the Generic is the implant type.

The examples I train with:
Surigical Gloves are Supply type GLOVE.
Stents are Supply type IMPLANT, Implant Type STENT.

Stace,

We're doing the same thing as KatVila. Using SQL to gather the data and then interface it via Cloverleaf to Epic. Long story short, we found better control with SQL then using IC527.

Hello, I was wondering how you set the Latex Indicator in your environment. It has 4 options. Option 1 is logical for a package that specifically states Latex. Option 0 is logical for a package that makes no mention of latex. Option 2 is not logical to me. If the package states Latex Free, is that a 2?
Thank you.

We use the latex flag values as follows:

0 = Unknown

1 = Latex

2 = Latex Free

3 = things like IT Equipment

In relation to Epic - I don't know for certain, but I believe they convert BOTH 1 and 0 to "may contain latex" out of an abundance of caution.

Thank you for the quick response!

The wording of opt 2 is just not clear to me, it's like a reverse logic statement. Why didn't they use "Package indicates Latex Free"?

Also, I realized I meant opt 1 for latex, so I updated my earlier post.
