Introduction
• ConnectR is an interface engine that receives data messages from
HIS/RIS, processes (translates) this data, and inserts/updates the data
in the database
• Patient and exam data from external systems is entered in the iSite
database and may be viewed in the iSite Enterprise, iSuite, and iSite
Radiology applications
CONFIDENTIAL
TRN-0000-11 Rev 04/17/06

Introduction
• Issues may arise during message processing in any type of interface
• Message processing errors can affect patient care because either
DICOM images are not being registered in the database or HL7
messages are not being posted along with the DICOM images

In the address box, type in the IP address of your Philips iSite Server
followed by “/idxconnectr/launch.asp”
Type “User ID” and “Password” in the appropriate fields
ConnectR Log-ins are independent of all other iSite Log-ins; therefore you
may need to request Philips iSite CARE to add new ConnectR Log-ins
Select “ConnectR” for Data Source

Monitor Status
• Within ConnectR, there are
numerous system pairs (Source
and Target) that handle different
types of data coming into the
system by converting the data to
a format that the iSite database
can understand
• The server status as well as the
status of each of these system
pairs can be monitored

Source Systems
• Source Systems designate the
first point of data entry from an
outside source into ConnectR
• The Source Systems pass the
data to their associated Target
System which will insert/update
the data in the iSite database
CONFIDENTIAL
TRN-0000-11 Rev 04/17/06
11
Target Systems
• The Target Systems then process
the data and update the iSite
Database with the information that
the data messages contained
CONFIDENTIAL

12
Last Message
• The Last Message column
displays the date and time stamp
of the last message that came
through that associated system
CONFIDENTIAL
TRN-0000-11 Rev 04/17/06
13
QSize
• The QSize column displays the
number of messages waiting in
the queue to be processed. A “0”
value indicates that the interface
is processing messages in an
expedient manner
• Take note or contact Customer
Care if Queue is in the hundreds
or thousands

• IDX to Stentor Source – IDX to Stentor Target
– Internal messaging from the iSite database to iSite nodes (via
MSMQ) to update DICOM Headers (demographic updates, study
deletions, accession number updates)
• Source system – receives updates from iSite database triggers and
passes the messages to the target system for processing
• Target system – processes the updates and forwards the updates to
the iSite nodes (via MSMQ)

DICOM Modality Worklist Interface
• DICOM Modality Worklist Source – DICOM Modality
Worklist Target
– DICOM Modality Worklist interface is a pure DICOM to Database
and back to DICOM (two-way) interface
• Source system – receives the DMWL query from the Modality (DICOM
C-Find)
• Target system – queries the iSite database via ODBC based on the
query received in the Source. By default queries will return orders in
either (S)cheduled or (I)nProgress status
• Source system – sends the results from the query made by the Target
interface back to the querying modality (DICOM C-FIND-RSP)
CONFIDENTIAL

DMWL Source
• Source system – receives the DMWL
query from the Modality (DICOM CFind)
•
Target system – queries the iSite
database via ODBC based on the
query received in the Source
• By default queries will return orders in
either (S)cheduled or (I)nProgress
status
•

AutoCreate Interface
• Some sites may have an AutoCreate interface in addition to an HL7
interface (i.e. receipt of images for which no HL7 will be received, as
in studies from outside reading centers or affiliated clinics/hospitals
without a RIS)
• AutoCreate Source – AutoCreate Target
– This interface pair is used with non-HL7 integrated systems.
AutoCreate means that an accession number will be
automatically created when an accession number is not present
in STUDYREGISTRATION message
• Source system – receives internal messages about studies from
iSite nodes and passes the messages to the target system for
processing
• Target system – Creates/updates patients and orders based on
DICOM Header information and registers the associated study in
the iSite database

Message Log Page
• To access the Status Page:
• Click on the “Monitor”
• Click on the “Message Log”
• Select a system on the drop
down arrow to view the original
data messages that came into
that system and how the data
messages look as they leave that
system
CONFIDENTIAL
TRN-0000-11 Rev 04/17/06
29
Choosing An Interface
• Step 1: Click on the down arrow
to open up the drop down list and
select the desired interface
• Step 2: Select a date range by
clicking on the Calendar icon
– The dates highlighted in black
are the only dates which have
messages
CONFIDENTIAL

Stentor to IDX source
• Source systems will display the
original HL7 or image registration
messages from the Modalities as
well as Heartbeat Messages
• The date and time stamp of the
message displayed in the Target
message box
CONFIDENTIAL
TRN-0000-11 Rev 04/17/06
31
String Filter
• Use the String Filter field to type
in a search parameter (MRN,
ACC, SUID are the most useful)
for ConnectR to search through
all messages
• Record the Msg ID of the resulting
messages) to find the correlated
Target messages
CONFIDENTIAL
TRN-0000-11 Rev 04/17/06
32
Message ID
• Msg ID is a unique identifier that
ConnectR assigns to each data
message
• Record a Source system Msg ID
to look up the correlated Target
messages
• To search by Msg ID, type the
number into the Msg ID field, not
the String Filter
CONFIDENTIAL
TRN-0000-11 Rev 04/17/06
33
Play Buttons
• The arrow buttons:
1. Move to the beginning of the
message log (the first message)
2. Move back one message at a time
3. Move forward one message time
4. Move you to the end of the
message log (the last message)
CONFIDENTIAL
TRN-0000-11 Rev 04/17/06
34
Grid Buttons
• Click on the grid button in either
the Target Message pane or the
Source Message pane to view the
message in an easy-to-read
column format
CONFIDENTIAL
TRN-0000-11 Rev 04/17/06
35
Grid Page
• The Grid page will display the
data messages in a tree-like
format that makes it easier to look
up individual field names and
values
CONFIDENTIAL
TRN-0000-11 Rev 04/17/06
36
Target Message Logs
• Target systems show Target
messages generated by the
Source system
• Target systems also show error
messages immediately after the
Target message that failed to
process
CONFIDENTIAL
TRN-0000-11 Rev 04/17/06
37
HL7 Source Message Logs
• Systems may show different types
of messages
• Look at the Msg Type text box to
determine what kind of message
you are viewing
• An HL7 Source will show “Data
Messages” (HL7 messages
received from a HIS/RIS) as well
as the corresponding “ACK
Messages” (an ACK is an
acknowledgement from ConnectR
to the sending system that the
message was received
successfully)
CONFIDENTIAL
TRN-0000-11 Rev 04/17/06
38
HL7 Source Message Logs
• When using the String Filter, it is
useful to select only the “Data/SP”
checkbox in Msg Filter – “ACK
Messages” generally will not
contain useful information, and
removing them from the search
halves the records that ConnectR
must search through
CONFIDENTIAL
TRN-0000-11 Rev 04/17/06
39
HL7 Target
• The Target system will show Data,
Error, and Operation Messages
• To search the Target message
log, first use the String Filter in the
Source to determine Msg IDs
• Enter the appropriate Msg ID into
the Target message log to view all
associated Data and Error
messages
CONFIDENTIAL
TRN-0000-11 Rev 04/17/06
40
HL7 Target
• Avoid using the String Filter to
search the Target message log
• Of the many Target messages
generated by the Source
messages, only a few will contain
common identifiers
• String Filter searches will not
return Error messages
