How to Convert Healthcare Clinical/Administrative Data to a Health Level 7 Format in ABBYY Vantage
1. Set Up Your Skill
First, we opened up ABBYY Vantage and navigate to the “skill designer” tab on the left side of the screen. Here, we used buttons in the “activities” panel to create a path like this: Input -> Extract -> Review -> Output. This path represents how after a document is input, ABBYY Vantage is going to extract the data off that clinical form to get its HL7 data, and then that document will be routed to a human to review. And then, we will output, of course, our HL7 format. As always, it’s up to you whether you want human review to be a part of the process.
2. Drop a Document into Your Skill
Next, we’ll cover how to teach ABBYY Vantage how to extract critical information on our administrative forms. We want to extract this important information so it can pass between software systems. As you’ll see in the video here, we set up a sample HL7 document within ABBYY Vantage and filled it out.
In your Try Anything skill page, drop your sample in. Then, click “Select Skill,” and type in “HL7 Process Skill” and click on the result that comes up. The software will now start uploading that sample and processing it for you.
3. Check Your Work
Next, we open up your output and bring that over to our screen, which you can see here. Here, we can see our output file, which is HL7 format of that document, as expected. It also has the specific format we’re expecting. That means we will be able to pass this data and the extracted information to a downstream system or a web service or backend process.
And there you have it—that’s your guide for converting healthcare clinical/administrative data to a health level 7 format.
