Overview

Some Medical providers prefer to import Referrals, Specialist letters, or Discharge Summaries into the relevant Letters/Documents tab of the patients record. This can be performed in Medical Director 2 or 3. Pathology results will still continue to go into the Results tab. 
 

Please note that steps 1-4 will need to be repeated on each Medical Director workstation.

Medical Director Sorting Logic

Medical Director allocates messages according to keywords in report titles.

The keywords are "Letter", "Document", "Correspondence" or "Summary".

OBR-24 is not used at all for report allocation as advised by the Australian Standard: 4 Observation Reporting - HL7AUSD-STD-OO-ADRM-2021.1 - HL7 Australia "This field is required in Australian implementations to indicate to the placer system which clinical area to display the results."

For ORU and REF without a keyword see the "Message Type no Keywords Variations Table" below.

MDM behaviour has not been confirmed.
