Hi Stephen,

Welcome! We have a project coming up later this year involving integration of OpenMRS with a PACS radiology system, likely using HL7 and Mirth as the integration engine. For this project, we are likely going to want to export and import Patient Demographics, Orders, Encounters, and Obs. I'd definitely be interested in talking with you more about this if you are interested.

By the way, where in Malawi and with what organization will you be based?

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Darius,

Thanks for your response! I'll actually be volunteering for several weeks at a health NGO in Malawi starting May 21st. They are currently working with OpenMRS and the lead developer there wanted me to look into exporting HL7 during my time there.

So, I don't know exactly the scenario I'll need it for yet but will have a better idea of what specific messages and cases that need to be captured in HL7 soon. Who knows, encounters may be all that we need! From my HL7v3 experience, once the first message gets mapped, it's easier to map new ones.

If Suranga is working on exporting encounters as HL7, I'd love to help any way that I can. Is there a specific use case that he is exporting encounters for? I'm assuming that exporting is in v2?

Thanks,
Stephen

    Hi Stephen,

    Great to hear you're interested! Are you just a
    generally-interested developer, or is there a particular project
    you're looking to apply exporting HL7 to?

    My recollection of the project you're referring to (and this is
    off the top of my head) was that they did a fine job of exporting
    OpenMRS data as HL7, but that they didn't really address the
    question of how you'd actually set up a stream, what would trigger
    it, etc.

    As we speak, Suranga (with Jembi) is working on the ability to
    export encounters (I think) as HL7, and exposing that
    functionality via a web service url.

    Suranga, how is that project going? Would there be a place for
    Stephen to help?

        Hi Devs,

        I'm brand new to OpenMRS and I'm interested in finding out
        more about
        OpenMRS as it relates to exporting HL7.

        It's seems that there was some work done on this a while ago...

        see https://source.openmrs.org/cru/CR-TRUNK-569 and
        https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/projects/HL7+Output+(Design+Page)
        <https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/projects/HL7+Output+%28Design+Page%29>

        From what I read there, it seems to me that
        1) there was a patch that exported two HL7 v2.x messages (i.e.
        ADT_A28 and
        ORU_R01) using HAPI
        2) future work could include supporting the remaining HL7 v2.x
        messages and
        integration with Mirth

        Is this correct?

        As a Java developer with HL7v2/v3 and HAPI experience, I'm
        hoping that I
        might be able to help this HL7 output effort in the month ahead.

        Thanks,
        Stephen
