ORU to MDM message

[Mark Brown]

I asked about this a few months back and then the project went to the back burner. I have a couple problems with what I have so far.  When running the xlate, it’s picking up the OBX segments, but it’s repeating blank MSH, EVN, PID, PV1, and TXA segments between each iteration of OBX.

I copy the MSH, EVN, PID and PV1 before the ITERATE where I copy the OBX segments.

What should I look for as the problem?

 

The second problem is I’m not sure how to populate the TXA segment in the MDM or do I need to?

Running Windows server 2016 and Cloverleaf 6.2

Thanks

Where is the iterate in the Xlate?  Perhaps a post of your Xlate file would help.

For the TXA segment, that would be up to the message receiver.  Does he need it?

Populating the TXA would depend on the requirements of the receiving system — MDMs are very different depending on the vendor, so it’s hard to say.

As for the iterate, it sounds like the basis for the iteration is the whole message (path = 0), but you only have OBX tasks within the iterate — and it’s outputting blank segments because they’re required, but there’s no tasks to populate them.  The basis path should be 0(0).OBX or something close to that dependent on your HL7 variant.

Hope this helps — or someone smarter chimes in!
