In
http://salaam.homeunix.com/~ncq/gnumed/schema/devel/gnumed-
schema.html#clin.table.lab-request
there is a field
request_id
which the schema description says
ID this request had when sent to the lab LDT: 8310 HL7:
OBR.filler_order_number
Is this what, in Germany, appears on the labels that you affix to
your blood tubes, and is this then the number that is input in the
praxis? In Canada, we would not et this information (which is decided
by the lab) until the result came back.
There is also a field
lab_request_id
which is the
"ID this request had internally at the lab LDT: 8311"
which, therefore, is not something that the praxis controls. In BC
Canada, it is however possible for the lab to accept --- on the paper
requisition that we complete and provide to the patient --- a
reference number that we ourselves can assign, and which the lab will
return in field ORC 004 (subject to confirmation).
A candidate reference number that may be good to send would be the pk
which is automatically generated in the table ... any reason it would
be any bad idea to use this?
