STATEMENT OF WORK

1. INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND INFORMATION

CadLink clinical information platform provides secure and efficient access to clinical information when and where needed. CadLink helps deliver efficient workflow, quality data and easy reporting by connecting Cascade EEG and Sierra EMG/EP.

2. Place of Performance

Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System

Primary Address:

Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System

11301 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90073

Los Angeles, CA 90073

3. Scope of Work

The CadLink clinical information management connects Cadwell electromyography

(EMG) system with a hospital or clinic’s Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system using bidirectional HL7 messaging. Inbound HL7 Integration, automatically imports patient demographic data, scheduling details, and physician orders (such as ADT and ORM messages) straight from the enterprise EMR into the Cadwell acquisition software.

Outbound HL7 Integration, automatically exports finalized EMG testing reports, data summaries, and waveforms (as PDFs or Word/EMBEDDED data files) back into the correct patient file inside the enterprise EMR. There is no hardware; this is the HL7

License working with hospital EMR for Inbound (work order and patient demographics) and Outbound, completed study report pushed to EMR.

4. Salient Characteristics:

4.1. Software should provide bi-directional HL7 integration with enterprise EMR systems, supporting inbound ORM and ADT messages for scheduling EMG studies and loading patient demographics.

4.2. Software should send outbound ORU result messages containing EMG/NCS reports as either embedded Base64 documents or UNC-linked files.

4.3. Software should use Mirth Connect for HL7 message translation, routing, and channel configuration between EMR and CadLink Server.

4.4. Software should allow configuration of HL7 settings including embedded

vs. linked reports, PDF conversion, report destinations, and email notifications for HL7 events.

4.5. Software should include auto-cleanup functionality to remove unused orders after a configurable number of days and optionally notify the EMR.

4.6. Software should provide HL7 troubleshooting tools such as a message viewer, cancel/delete message controls, ACK/NACK review, and port diagnostics.

4.7. Software should ensure secure transport and storage of PHI with encrypted communication and fail-safe local buffering during network interruptions.

4.8. Software should support remote access, multi-user study workflows, and audit trails across EMG, EEG, and IONM applications.

4.9. Software should centralize client configuration and updates, enabling scalable deployment for small practices and enterprise neurodiagnostic environments.

4.10. Software should integrate seamlessly with Sierra Summit EMG workflows, displaying HL7 orders in the Appointments tab and enabling report dispatch through the Send HL7 Result function.

4.11. Software should support unsolicited result message transmission without a preceding order when needed.
