Hi Tim,

The IntelliVue LAN data protocol is based on UDP/IP, so the monitor is not able to send TCP/IP based HL7 messages out of the box. For this purpose, you need to use the HL7 communication interface provided by the central station (the IntelliVue Information Center).

The IHE standards use the MDC nomenclature for clinical concepts, while the IntelliVue devices (both the monitor and central station) use the MDIL nomenclature. As most of MDC is derived from MDIL, mapping the concepts to an IHE compliant EMR would not be difficult.

The easiest way to map the HL7 messages from the central station to your EMR (if you don't have an HL7 broker yet), is to use the IntelliBridge Enterprise integration engine, that comes with the concepts from the IntelliVue side pre-mapped.
