  • Address: The IP address of the Mirth Match server host machine. If Mirth Match is running on the same machine as Mirth Connect, enter 127.0.0.1.
  • Port: The port of the Mirth Match server host machine. This value is usually 8888.

  • Entity ID: The entity ID to submit. This field should be filled with a variable that corresponds to the identifier for the Entity (Patient, Provider, etc) being sent to Mirth Match. For example, in the case of an ADT message, this field could be mapped to a variable that contains the value taken from PID.3.1 or perhaps PID.4.1.
