patient demographic encounter data in HL7 message

We need more of the pt demographic encounter data to be in the HL7 message to automate our care boards. Currently will send Y or N for a few fields and those fields are no longer available in charts (ie advance directive). Our care boards are at least 75% manual because not all data (ie code status, isolation, fall risks etc) and even order types (ie nursing) are being sent in HL7s messages. The inability to send nursing orders via the interface also contributes to a lot of the manual entries (ie ADLs, assists, bathing, wound care, etc) .

    @Guest - I need more information about the fields that are no longer in charts. You mention advance directives as an example but that can still be found in charts-Demographics-Personal. Also please clarify this statement: 'Our care boards are at least 75% manual because not all data (ie code status, isolation, fall risks etc) and even order types (ie nursing) are being sent in HL7s messages.' Are these items and nursing orders being sent in HL7 messages or not?
