The Interoperability Connector Suite includes connectors for PIX and PDQ. These connectors are very similar, so they'll be grouped together here.
- The PIX Connectors are used for consuming and creating Patient Identifier Cross-referencing messages. The PIX Listener and PIX Sender support both PIXv2 (TCP with HL7 v2.x) and PIXv3 (SOAP with HL7 v3.x) standards.
- The PDQ Connectors are used for consuming and creating Patient Demographics Query messages. The PDQ Listener and PDQ Sender support both PDQv2 (TCP with HL7 v2.x) and PDQv3 (SOAP with HL7 v3.x) standards.
Note: Since PIXv2 and PDQv2 connectors have very few configuration options, only PIXv3 and PDQv3 settings will be discussed here.
