HL7 terms to better understand what is HL7. In the HL7 Standard, the Detailed Financial Transactions (DFT) messages describe a financial transaction transmitted between the DSS/Order Filler and the Charge Processor.
The DSS/Order Filler verifies that the procedure has been completed.
The Charge Processor receives patient demographics, account information, etc. for ADT/Patient Registration. The Charge Processor also receives the posted charges and serves as a component of the financial system.
In HL7 messaging, the trigger events for a DFT message include:
- Procedure ordered
- Procedure scheduled
- Procedure completed
- Future will define Report events for professional fees
