The Data Innovations software validates and interfaces to the hospital computer systems. The HL7 interface is used for transmitting patient results from automated laboratory instrumentation to the VA Laboratory Information System (VISTA).

IM can translate/route data between any format/connection type supporting ASTM, HL7, and proprietary protocols. Comprehensive Specimen Management applications, customization, installation, and 24/7 support available. IM has utilized HL7 when connecting one or more medical devices to an information system. The HL7 Standard is used as a superset of patient, specimen, test, and device data, including the newer automation segments. IM receives and sends all possible data, given the individual restrictions of the devices attached. By using HL7 as the superset of data elements available, the information system is relieved of the burden of supporting individual protocols and data formats for each instrument. This solution simultaneously supports a variety of instrument operating methods, including unidirectional, bidirectional, query, and polling.
