21 3 Configuration Configuring the CP 200 patient-match criteria (resolving patients) When a CP 200 test is imported into the CardioPerfect database, the patient data submitted with the test may or may not match patient data already stored in the database. The software tries to match, or resolve, the incoming data against the stored data. Tests are entered either for an existing patient or for a new patient, depending on the patientmatch criteria.
22 Configuration Welch Allyn Connex CSK software PatientMatchCriteria Description MATCH_DOB_ The first name and last name must match exactly, and the date of birth must be on the LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME same day. • If there is no match, but the MRN conflicts with another entry, the record is marked suspect. • If there is no match and the MRN is blank, the MRN is set to a period, the patient’s last name, a period, and a unique number.
Installation guide Configuration 23 Configuring the CardioPerfect Workstation for non-Welch Allyn devices CardioPerfect Workstation uses the SCP-ECG plug-in, which is a standard communications protocol for computer-assisted electrocardiography (EC71 or EN1064).

Installation guide Configuration 29 7. Host response XSLT The Host Response XSLT field is used to specify the location of an .xsl file that will be used to verify responses from an external information host. Whenever XML data, or translated data, is sent to an information host, the data message is saved as part of the message context. If a Host Response XSLT file is specified, it is used to translate that original outbound message into an expected response.
