Why is the NTE segment special?: Context; its meaning depends on thesegment it follows. 4. What is the difference between an empty field || and the delete character |""|?: An empty field is ignored by the interface, whereas the delete character willdelete information from the database, assuming the field in question supports the delete character. 5. Aside from HL7Version 2, name two other standards supported inBridges?: X12, FHIR, NCPDP, DICOM, and Direct. 6. Perform basic parsing of an HL7 message,such as identifying the con-tents of a specific field or component: Make sure you can perform this task. 7. Escape the contents of a field that contains an encoding character byreplacing it with the appropriate escape sequence: Make sure you can perform this task. 8.

The expectations of using Z-segments: They have been defined and codedfor within Epic 13. General use cases for X12 interfaces and FHIR: Real-time eligibility andprovider/patient facing apps 14. What is Bridges?: Epic's interfacing application. It consists of both the inter-face infrastructure to build, send, receive, and file messages along with the tools and utilities to maintain those interfaces. 15. What are stored in the Event Queue?: The Event Queue contains theinformation needed to build a message. Usually this is a patient ID, an encounter DAT, and the type of message to be built, among other information. 16. What are stored in the Data Queue?: The Data Queue contains the text ofHL7 messages and additional metadata. 3 / 21 17.

Describe the flow of messages in and out of Bridges for an interfaceusing aTCP/IP connection.: See diagram on page 3-14 21. Describe the flow of messages in and out of Bridges for an interfaceusing Interconnect.: See diagram on page 3-15 22. 3 Trigger: A trigger is a single, clearly defined action that a user or process cantake that can result in an interface message being created and sent. A trigger is generally an action in Hyperspace, like clicking a button or closing an activity. 23. 3 Event: An event consists of a small set of values with the necessary informa-tion to build the message: the patient ID, the patient contact, the type of message,and other additional information. 24. 3 Event Queue: List of events waiting for messages to be built and sent out-bound.The Event Queue is managed by the Event Demon. 25. 3 Data Queue: List of messages with metada
