Thank you Gentlemen, all of you.  The response to my problem has been awesome.  CloverTech Forums is a wonderful tool.

Charlie, thank you so much.  I’m trying to make sure the users are instructed to enter data in IN1-16 in a certain manner, but we all know that mistakes will be made.  I really appreciate your help.

Hi Jim,

I hope to have time tomorrow to work on this translation.  What is your email, incase I have questions.  My email is bdeemer@citrusmh.org.

Thanks

Hi Jim,

The ORM can have OBX segments and the ones generated by the ZPA would just follow the ones already in the message.  I will study this and play with it.  I’m fairly new to Cloverleaf and have not needed to do any complex Xlates to date.  I appreciate you help.

Thanks again.

Answer to your first question is that the ZPA segment does not repeat at the segment or field level.

Second question: For every field populated in the ZPA there would need to be a corresponding OBX segment at the end of the ORM message. They would need to be sequentially numbered and the field # in the ZPA would need to be the variable data element identifier in the OBX.

If this helps, the new HIS system being installed is McKesson’s Paragon going to a 3rd party lab system, Cerner Millenium.
