how to add a segment in an xlate?

[Nora Katz]

I am receiving ORM (order) messages from an outside source into my Cloverleaf.   They (outside source)  are not able to send me ADT information first, so when I read in the ORM message, I need to create an ADT message first, before I send the order message onto my receiving system.

ORM messages do not contain the EVN segment (that is present in ADT messges).  How do I create an EVN segment for the ADT message within an xlate?

If your outbound variant contains an EVN segment, then you can simply map a value to a field within the EVN segment.

For Example map the MSH event to the EVN event.

The engine will take it from there.

Acutally you probably want to create an A08 or something… so you would want to do this

copy

=A08     EVN field 1  (use the tool to pick the appropriate field)

I think I need to back up a little.  For my xlate input record format, I chose HL7 v2.3 ORM and for the output record format, I chose the same thing (HL7 v2.3 ORM).  

Then, I copied the MSH, (insert EVN here), PID, PV1..to create the ADT message.  I then did a SEND, continued with a BULKCOPY to create the order message, SEND and finally SURPRESS.  

The EVN I want to create would be in the first message (ADT).
