HL7 Version 2.7.1 Implementation Guide: Message Transformations with OASIS Tracking of Emergency Patients (TEP), Release 1

OASIS EDXL-TEP is a messaging standard that facilitates the coordination of patient movement across the continuum of emergency medical care. The HL7 Messaging Standard is a messaging standard that hospitals use internally and in information exchange with other healthcare facilities. An EDXL-TEP/HL7 transform is needed to bridge the electronic gap between the emergency management, emergency medical services and hospital communities. This implementation guide guides the reader in the use of the accompanying spreadsheet that details the mapping and processing to transform an OASIS EDXL-TEP message into an HL7 ADT (and potentially RAS) message. It is aimed at software vendors engaged on either side of the interchange to provide alternative standard messages, both inbound and outbound.
