We market IMAGES/3000, a radiology information system (RIS), which is
interfaced to most of the major hospital info systems (HIS).
 
Most of our HL7 I/F's include (ver 2.1):
    ADT - from the HIS
    Order Entry - from the HIS
    Order Status Update - to the HIS
    Add-on Orders - to the HIS
    Results (reports) - to the HIS
 
    We have also developed Results Query from the HIS and real-time billing.
 
One site has a basterdized 2.2 version.
 
The HL7 application programs are written in BASIC/V which connect to two
IMAGE databases, an application DB and an interface DB.

No.
 
>3)  Are you connecting to IMAGE databases or something else?
 
See above.
 
>4)  What type of performance are you getting -- is it satisfactory? great?
 
No complaints to speak of except for MPE/iX 5.0 sites.
 
>5)  Are you running ADT systems on the 3000 or something else?
 
Again, see above.
 
Our comm options are:
   RS232  - BASIC/V with some calls to SPL procedures
   LU 6.2 - BASIC/V
   TCP/IP - C/iX
