“Health messaging in clinics and hospitals isn’t just about communication; it’s about clarity and continuity, two essentials for quality care.” With our health messaging system, hospitals and clinics get a range of tools that support communication and make it more usable for clinicians and administrators. Here’s how our program uses HL7 standards and XML protocols, improves readability and has a streamlined inbox and notification system.

HL7 and XML Standards
One of the key parts of our health messaging system is its support for HL7, the international standard for transferring health information between different healthcare providers and systems. HL7 or Health Level 7 ensures that the data format and exchange meets a global standard, so different systems can “speak the same language”. When messages come in they are formatted in HL7 so data can be shared across clinics, labs and administrative centers. If custom changes are needed our support team can help with adapting the software to fit additional specific requirements.
HL7 by default – HL7 is built in so it’s compatible with all clinical applications.
Customizations available upon request – If a provider needs custom changes they can reach out for customizations.
XML support – The system also supports XML so data structures within the messages are robust and standardized.
Consistency across channels – Using HL7 means all channels, data providers and healthcare touchpoints can communicate seamlessly.
This HL7 integration reduces mismatched data and improves overall patient information coherence. Perfect for situations where patient data needs to be exchanged across multiple healthcare points.
Multiple Channels and Data Providers
Our program supports multiple channels and data providers, each serving different but related purposes. Each channel is a conduit for clinical and administrative data and a data provider is a group of related channels and stores additional data that is common to all of them. These channels can handle everything from patient information to administrative notifications so data can be shared between different hospital departments.
Channel based data exchange – Each channel is for specific types of messages, lab results, imaging or scheduling updates.
Data provider grouping – Channels are grouped by data providers for better organization and management within the system.
Additional data storage – Data providers store extra data that applies to all grouped channels so nothing falls through the cracks.
Real-time updates – Channels and data providers provide real-time information flow so everyone is on the same page.
This channel based design allows clinics to use specific communication lines and data providers to group all channels related to a patient or case together so all critical information is kept cohesive.
Auto Conversion to Records
The system can automatically convert incoming data into database records, messages and images into structured formats within patient records. This is all automated so users don’t have to manually categorize or sort incoming data. For example images received via a message channel can be attached directly to the patient record so there’s no extra steps for the staff.
Auto conversion to database records – Files, messages and images are auto converted.
Attach to patient documents – Attachments like imaging files or PDFs to patient files.
Improves document management – Automates filing and categorization of documents so staff save time.
Reduces data entry errors – With less manual input there’s less chance of errors in patient records.
Auto conversion keeps the system organized, reduces administrative burden and makes sure all critical data ends up in the right place at the right time.
Inbox and Notifications
Our health messaging system has a common inbox that’s accessible to all users. This inbox shows all incoming messages in one place so users can monitor new updates whether it’s lab results, physician communications or administrative messages. Notifications can also be configured to alert specific users or groups so important messages are seen by the right healthcare providers.
Common inbox for easy access – All incoming messages are in one place, accessible to authorized users.
Configurable notifications – Users can set up alerts to notify specific team members or departments.
Real time message tracking – The inbox shows live message updates so you can respond in time.
Improves team communication – Makes sure critical information gets to the right people at the right time.
This common inbox not only organizes communication but also enables quick response which is critical in a busy clinical environment.
Human Preview
To make the data readable we translate the HL7 message into a human readable preview. HL7 data can be confusing and hard to understand at first glance but with our system the content is displayed in a readable format. For example attachments like PDFs or images are displayed in the message preview so users can quickly see the content without having to open each message individually.
Readable HL7 – Converts HL7 into a readable preview.
In-line attachments – Files like PDFs or images are displayed in-line so you save time.
Quick review of key data – Important information is displayed upfront in a readable format.
Reduces manual interpretation – Users can see messages quickly and accurately.
This saves time as staff can process incoming data quickly and accurately without having to decipher technical language.
Simple Send
Sending messages with our system is easy, designed to be simple. Users just select the patient record, attach the data or message and send to an outgoing channel. This makes it easy to send to external providers, labs or specialists or within the hospital or clinic itself.
Send a message – Select a record, compose and send.
Works with existing patient records – No need to create new records as messages can be attached to existing ones.
Internal and external communication – For communication within the hospital and to external providers.
Fewer steps to send – The system makes it easy and simple to send messages.
By making message sending simpler the system lets healthcare teams focus on patient care not administration.

We have been using Patient Manager medical software by Vertikal Systems since 2009, it was our choice after comparing and considering many other competing products.
We found the program to be robust on the network as it did not utilize or require large amounts of system resources for processing of data, easy to install, with a very short learning curve enabling mastery of the program in a very quick time frame.
I have been using the PMA for about 3 years now. I have been very happy with the software and technical support offered.
