Introduction
*IMPORTANT NOTICE: This Companion Guide can be used for both CPS &
Centricity EMR. The majority of screen shots are from CPS 10. Any major
differences between versions are included in this documentation, and 2 sets of
screen shots are included when noteworthy.
LinkLogic enables the efficient and intelligent sharing of data between Centricity and
a variety of external systems, such as practice management, transcription,
laboratory, hospital information, document scanning systems and clinical data
repositories. LinkLogic uses interfaces to share data.
Scenario: Monitoring LinkLogic is essential in ensuring that data from outside
systems is successfully imported into Centricity; therefore, you must know how to
navigate your way through LinkLogic.
Typical Staff Responsible and/or impacted with this Process:
LinkLogic Manager, Administration Set up Staff




Considerations:
You will need to designate a staff member who will serve as the LinkLogic
Manager.
The LinkLogic Manager will monitor messages in LinkLogic and resolve
errors.
This staff member will also alert others to possible interface issues as
applicable.
Security / Privileges must be granted to access LinkLogic.

Jobs
LinkLogic queues and processes jobs to import or export data.
The Data Transfer Station handles jobs automatically. Jobs can also be imported or
exported manually from the jobs section of LinkLogic.
When error files are opened up in the errors section but canceled out rather than
resolving, this causes jobs to appear in the Jobs section. These jobs will need to be
processed manually to place the error files back in the errors section in order to
resolve the corresponding errors. “Manual” will appear in the state column when this
is necessary.
You should organize the jobs section to “All Stations” & save as your preference to
ensure that you can see and process all jobs that appear in “Manual” state when this
occurs.
7

Confidential and Proprietary Information
Process Jobs in “Manual” State
To process jobs in “manual” state:
1. Highlight job(s).
2. Click the Process button to send job(s) back to the errors section.
3. Also, click OK to any screens that pop up during this process.

Confidential and Proprietary Information
DTS Monitor
The DTS Monitor section will show you whether or not the Data Transfer Station (DTS)
is “active”. You should see a line item that states the DTS Status is “Active”.
If there is not a line item in the DTS section that states that the Data Transfer Station
(DTS) is “Active”, or if the DTS Status is “Error”, the DTS needs to be restarted.
9
Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved.
Confidential and Proprietary Information
Activity Log
The Activity Log lists notes, warnings, and error messages for every job manually
imported or exported, and for every job the DTS processes.
If you import and export many jobs, the log can get extremely large. If the activity log
gets too many messages in it, the DTS can stop processing until the activity log is
cleaned out.
Under most circumstances, it is important that the activity log be organized so that
messages are viewed for All Stations. This should be saved as your preference, which
will ensure that you are viewing ALL messages when clearing the log.
10

Confidential and Proprietary Information
Activity Log Message Types
The activity log message type is indicated in the “severity” column. The 3 different
message types are:
•
•
•
Error
Warning
Note
Error messages indicate a possible problem in importing or exporting data.
Warning messages inform you about LinkLogic actions, indicate missing data in
optional fields, or data that is not used by the EMR application.
Note messages primarily convey information. You typically do not need to take any
action.
Go to “LinkLogic Activity Log Message Codes” in HELP (F1) to understand the notes,
warnings, and errors that you see in the Activity Log.
11

Confidential and Proprietary Information
Filter to Specific Message Codes
Filtering to specific message codes is one way to organize the current view, making it
easier to clear multiple items at one time.
In the message code range area, enter the minimum & maximum code range, and
then click the OK button. Only messages in the specified range will be seen until the
view is reorganized.
To view every instance of a specific message code, enter the same number in the
minimum code range field and the maximum code range field.
Messages in the activity log can also be organized to specific dates, severity, and/or
interface type.
12

Confidential and Proprietary Information
Removing Activity Log Messages
To clear messages in the current view:
1. Click the SELECT button, which will highlight every* message in the current
view.
2. Once all messages are highlighted, click the REMOVE button.
3. After all messages in the current view are removed, click the ORGANIZE button
again, and then click OK to return to your normal preferred view.
*The maximum number of messages that the select button will highlight is 14,000, so
you may have to follow this process multiple times to remove all instances.
NOTE: Activity log messages should not be cleared out prior to working the
associated errors in the errors section, as these messages can sometimes be
helpful when resolving the errors.
13
Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved.

2. Enter the number of days in the “Remove entries after” field.
NOTE: Activity log messages should not be cleared out prior to working the
associated errors in the errors section, as these messages can sometimes be
helpful when resolving the errors. Be sure you set the “number of days” fields far
enough out so that the activity log messages are not removed sooner than you
will be working the errors.
*Message types appear in the severity column of the Activity Log.
14
Copyright 2012 General Electric Company. All rights reserved.
Confidential and Proprietary Information
Exclude Messages From Activity Log
Every time a job is queued, LinkLogic adds message code 7 to the Activity Log.
LinkLogic adds message code 1 every time a job completes. If you don’t want these
messages to accumulate in the Activity Log, you can modify a configuration file to
filter or exclude these messages from the log.
To exclude specific messages from the Activity Log:
1. Navigate to folder containing CPS or Centricity EMR. Examples - CPS:
C:\Program Files\Centricity Practice Solution\Client. Centricity EMR:
C:\Program Files\Centricity EMR
2. Locate & open the file for your version of the product in Notepad. (CPS: emr.ini
/ Centricity EMR: cfw.ini)
3. Find the L3IgnoreMessages entry.
4. Type the message codes you don’t want to see, separated by commas. For
example:
L3IgnoreMessages=1,7
5. Shut down & restart CPS on the workstation or the Data Transfer Station (as
applicable).
**This must be done all on workstations with access to Linklogic, including the
Data Transfer Station.**

Errors
When you import and export data, errors can occasionally occur. Errors can occur
for many reasons. The following list shows some of the reasons for errors:
•
LinkLogic can’t process the import file, possibly due to a patient mismatch or
the wrong data format.
•
LinkLogic can’t find the responsible provider.
•
LinkLogic can’t find a relationship for the data, or the header record in the
data file isn’t correct.
•
LinkLogic can’t process the job, due to a missing configuration file or a bad
export segment.
•
LinkLogic can’t import the data because the patient’s chart is being updated
by another user.
•
LinkLogic can’t find the appointment book or the appointment type.
The Errors section in LinkLogic contains the Pending Errors to be resolved as well as
associated Activity Log messages for each error. The associated activity log
messages can sometimes be used to help determine what you need to do to resolve
the errors.

Viewing HL7 Files
HL7 (Health Level 7) is a standard for electronic data exchange in healthcare
environments. LinkLogic’s use of this format is defined in the Interface Specifications
for each interface type. These specifications can be found in Managing Interfaces for
CPS on the Support web site (see next page for more information).
The error files you will work with will be HL7 files. To avoid horizontal scrolling
through the messages, set viewing options to “Wrap to Window”.
If Using WordPad to view the files:
1.
Click on the “View” menu.
2.
Click Options.
3.
Click Wrap to Window, and then click OK.
If Using Notepad to view the files:
1.
Click on the “Format” menu.
2.
Click “Word Wrap”.

Typical Error: Demographics Interface
Scenario: There is an error in LinkLogic stating a required field is missing. Note: This
scenario is more typical for Centricity EMR, but could also be applicable if
demographic data is electronically sent from another system to CPS.
Typical Staff Responsible and/or impacted with this Process:
LinkLogic Manager, Administration Set up Staff
Errors referring to missing or bad demographic information should NOT be resolved
in LinkLogic. These should be resolved in the originating system.
For this example, you should:
1. Find the patient’s date of birth.
2. Enter it into the patient’s record in the originating system. (Doing this
will generate a new HL7 message.)
3. Verify that the record was created / updated in CPS or Centricity EMR.
4. Remove the original error from the errors section of LinkLogic.
Always follow the procedure above to ensure that data is kept in synch between
systems. Also remember that the originating system is the MASTER system and that
Centricity is the RECEIVING system.

To resolve this error, do the following:
1. Edit the open HL7 file to change “Black” to “B” in PID-10. Be VERY
careful not to remove any other characters in the HL7 file. (For “field
too long” error types, refer to HL7 specifications for EMR supported
field values.)
2. Save & close the edited file.
3. With the file still highlighted in the errors section, click resolve.
To prevent this error in the future, correct MIK Mapping or cross-reference files
(as applicable to your implementation).

Cross-Reference Files
Some interfaces require the creation & use of cross reference files.
Cross reference files translate data field values to values that can be
recognized by Centricity on import or the external system on export.
For example, if you import laboratory results, you will need a crossreference file to translate laboratory test result codes to Centricity
observation term codes.
Sample cross-reference files are included on the next few pages of this Guide.
See Managing Interfaces manual for your version of Centricity for complete
information as well as examples of additional cross-reference file types.

Maintaining Cross-Reference Files
Cross-Reference files should be updated any time your organization adds
new appointment types, resources / books, providers, facilities / locations
of care, or document types.
The lab results cross-reference file should also be edited any time your
organization begins ordering new laboratory tests to ensure that the
corresponding lab results will populate flowsheets.
To edit cross reference files, navigate to the LinkLogic folders located on
the Data Transfer Station (DTS) or other designated network location.
You will need to locate the drive on the DTS or other designated network location
where LinkLogic is installed.*
The files will be located in LinkLogic’s config\local folder on the network. Each file will
have an .xrf extension.
Example CPS path: <Drive on your DTS or other location>\Program Files\
Centricity Practice Solution\Client\llogic\config\local
Example Centricity path: <Drive on your DTS or other location>\Program Files\
Centricity EMR\llogic\config\local
To Edit:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Open the file you want to edit, using Notepad.
Go to the very end of the file contents, using CTRL-END.
On a new line, add another I with a comma.
Add the new information, making sure to follow the same formatting you see
in the file.
Add each new item as applicable, per instructions in steps 3 & 4 above.
Save & close the file when finished.
Simultaneously press the following keys on your keyboard & release: CTRLSHIFT-D. This will clear the LinkLogic cache. (Alternatively, you can restart
the DTS.)
After using CTRL-SHIFT-D, click OK to the pop-up stating that the LinkLogic
cache will be destroyed the next time a job is run.
*Check with your organization’s network administrator if you cannot locate the crossreference files you need to edit.

MIK Mapping
Customers with separate stand-alone Centricity Practice Management
and EMR databases use the Millbrook Integration Kit (MIK) to map data
fields between PM and EMR.
Similar to cross-reference files, the MIK translates incoming and outgoing
data fields to values that can be recognized by both Centricity Practice
Management and EMR.
The MIK is a component of Centricity Bridge, which is a service that synchronizes data
between Centricity Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Centricity Practice
Management (PM).
Centricity Bridge allows patient demographic, scheduling, and procedure data to be
shared between the applications.
The next few pages contain basic mapping instructions. For complete information,
refer to the Centricity Bridge Installation Guide:
Centricity EMR:

nstallation_guide.pdf
CPS:
http://centricitypractice.gehealthcare.com/downloads/centricity_bridge/centricity_br
idge_installation_guide.pdf
Very Important: Mapping should be updated as soon as possible any time your
organization adds new appointment types, resources, doctors, or facilities to avoid
LinkLogic errors.
