ADT HL7 v2 Messaging at WebsMetrix

At WebsMetrix, we recognize that efficient communication is paramount in healthcare. Our solutions utilize ADT HL7 v2 (Admission, Discharge, Transfer) messaging, a crucial standard for the exchange of patient information related to their status within healthcare facilities. This protocol enables diverse healthcare systems to communicate seamlessly, ensuring that patient data is accurately and consistently
shared across platforms.

Structure of ADT HL7 v2 Messages

ADT HL7 v2 messages are composed of standardized segments that encapsulate vital patient information.
Key components include:

Contains essential metadata, such as sender and receiver information, message type,
timestamp, and HL7 version.

Specifies the type of event (e.g., admission, discharge, transfer) and includes a timestamp
for the event occurrence.

Includes critical details such as patient ID, name, date of birth, and demographic
information.

Details the patient’s visit, including location, attending physician, and admission type.

Organizations can customize messages with additional segments to meet specific needs,
enhancing the standard’s flexibility.
