Adding new OBX segments

Hello All,

I’m working on radiology result messages ORU^R01.  Currently our RIS system just send the text of the report in the OBX segments but I would like to add a header to the text that displays Patient Name, Exam Type, and more for a COLD feed into HPF. I want to build this header from information in the OBR, PID and PVI segments.  I’m having trouble in my Xlate building this header in the OBX segments.  How do I add the new OBX segments at the beginning of the OBX iteration?  This header that I want to build will always have 5 lines. So I will need 5 new OBX segments at the beginning.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Patricia

Here is part of an example message I’ve been working on.
