Changing HL7 formats within an xlate

[Kevin Crist]

i was curious to if you can change an hl7 format that you have defined for an xlate. I am wanting to change the outbound format to a different hl7 variant, but not sure how to do it.

Thanks.

Kevin, in the xlate, use the reconfigure option from the menu. Note that you will have to update the field addresses in the xlate in the outbound side.

thats what i was looking for, thank.

Now that leads me to another question…I am implementing a new system and this new system only wants certain orders (blood bank), so i am suppressing any other order. I am not totally sure i have my xlate set up right or efficiently… i can get everything to come across except the OBX’s. I am wondering if i have the hl7’s wrong. some constructive criticism would be great.

I normally would reverse the logic.

If blah != eek, suppress

If foo != bar, suppress

Xlate code …

i can get all this to work except that the OBX is coming over. There is multiple OBX’s in the message but arent showing up.

You will most likely need to iterate over the OBX segments (or use a BULKCOPY).
