title: Practical aspects to realize data transfer between a patient administration mastersystem and clinical subsystems using ProtoGen/HL7.
abstract: At the Medizinische Einrichtungen Bonn the module IS-H of SAP R/3 is used for patient administration. All clinical subsystems will be provided with patient data using HL7 2.3 messages. These messages are generated from HCM messages a proprietary format of IS-H by means of a communication server. Interface application for subsystems which are not capable of processing HL7 messages are written using the open source C++ class library ProtoGen/HL7. First experiences and remaining problems are discussed.
