These messages are triggered from many of Epic's applications. The ability to send allergy updates is only available from the Allergy activity. This interface does not send final coded diagnoses, procedures, or DRGs after a hospital account is coded.

Queries an external EMPI during a patient search after a local search is performed. The correct patient is then selected by a user from a list of candidates returned in the response message.

Queries a third-party system to verify and validate patient-level and guarantor-level demographic data the time of registration. This interface works with Prelude, Epic's registration system.
