Socket Applications A message socket receiver/sender needs to be provided which will allow set-up and receiving of HL7 messages via an HL7 socket listener. It will be the responsibility of the Trust or Trust Integration Engine to transmit HL7 messages to the application listener on the specified IP address and socket number. The socket application will need to receive the HL7 ADT messages and generate the required HL7 application acknowledgements as detailed:
•
Incoming messages – a socket to receive incoming HL7 messages from HIS interface manager. These messages are then stored as individual files for processing by local system to update the patient details as required.
•
Outgoing messages – a socket to send outgoing HL7 acknowledgement messages to HIS interface manager.
