System overview
Welcome!
The Acuity Central Monitoring System is a real-time patient monitoring system that
collects and displays vital-sign information for multiple patients over the Welch Allyn
FlexNet™ network.
This document contains specifications intended as a guide for software developers to
develop the HL7 or XML interface between a facility-controlled clinical information system
(CIS or HIS) and an Acuity System. It is assumed that users of this guide are familiar with
applicable HL7 standards or XML standards, and that users have standards available for
reference.
For information about further configuring the WACS HL7 settings for your facility, see the
Welch Allyn Connectivity Server Directions for Use, which describes using the WACS HL7
Manager pages to configure the HL7 interface.
