  1. Set up and configure your HL7 server or application, specifying the IP address and port of your AutoStore server.
  2. Design a workflow process by selecting the AutoCapture component.
  3. Use the HL7 Messenger component as a process component, and the Document Writer and Send to Folder components as the route components.
  4. Activate and configure the HL7 Messenger component, and create an HL7 message.
  5. In the HL7 Messenger component, specify the IP address and port of your HL7 server or application.
  6. Ensure that the output of the HL7 Messenger component can be handled as an RRT by the route components of the workflow.
  7. Start AutoCapture, fill in the form.
  8. Select the document to send.

The following use case serves as an example for the application.
  1. The doctor or lab technician scans a lab result using an MFP or a desktop software (for instance, the AutoCapture client) and sets the patient's ID or name field values.
  2. The HL7 Messenger component runs the preconfigured query to obtain the patient's other data, for example, weight, sex, height and so forth from the HER (HL7 capable) database.
  3. The Email component of the workflow sends the original document and the metadata to a preset email address.
