HELP-OBX

Hi ,

I am new in HL7 and want to create ORU message,

In that we need to create multiple OBX segment for pass text data in OBX-5.

Ex. Like this…

MSH|^~\&|MTS001||DMCRES||19951013155723||ORU^R01|MTS0011995101315572338|P|2.2||||NE

PID|||N98765 ||PYLE^KENNETH|5631||M

OBR|||J3AOJ012NA^MTS001|OPR^Operative Report^L|||19951011000000||||||||||||||||||P|||||||277605&

OBX||TX|REP^Report^L| 1| PYLE, KENNETH

OBX||TX|REP^Report^L| 2| Duke University Medical Center

OBX||TX|REP^Report^L| 3| MRN: N98765

OBX||TX|REP^Report^L| 4| Operative Report

OBX||TX|REP^Report^L| 5| ATT: STEVEN VASLEF, M.D.

OBX||TX|REP^Report^L| 6|

OBX||TX|REP^Report^L| 7|Procedure: 10/11/95 DICT: CHRISTINA A. HADJIKOUTI, M.D.

OBX||TX|REP^Report^L| 10|INDICATION FOR PROCEDURE: This is a 71-year-old white male who was

OBX||TX|REP^Report^L| 11|caught in a farming machine and ended up having a traumatic left arm

OBX||TX|REP^Report^L| 17|PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Feeding access and airway access.

OBX||TX|REP^Report^L| 18|

OBX||TX|REP^Report^L| 19|POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Feeding access and airway access.

OBX||TX|REP^Report^L| 20|

OBX||TX|REP^Report^L| 21|OPERATION PERFORMED: Tracheotomy and PEG.

OBX||TX|REP^Report^L| 22|

OBX||TX|REP^Report^L| 31|DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE: The patient was taken to the operating

OBX||TX|REP^Report^L| 32|room and intubated. He was placed in the supine position. His neck

OBX||TX|REP^Report^L| 33|and abdomen were prepped and draped in the usual sterile way. The

OBX||TX|REP^Report^L| 34|tracheotomy procedure was performed first. A transverse incision

OBX||TX|REP^Report^L| 35|was made 2 cm above the sternal notch. An incision was through the Lines of text One line per OBX

So please provide us  if you have any code to generate multiple OBX segment for the text data.

Thanks,

I have a custom model class factory which returns 2.6 version for any version as input.

 So my ORU_R01 is 2.6 version.

Here is the code snippet for extracting values from ORU_R01 for OBX.

    public Message processMessage(Message theMessage, Map theMetadata) throws ReceivingApplicationException, HL7Exception {

      // TODO Auto-generated method stub

      logger.info(this.getClass().getName() + "\tprocessing the recived message");

      Terser localTerser = new Terser(theMessage);

      ORU_R01 ORU_R01Message = (ORU_R01) theMessage;

      for (int PATIENT_RESULTRep = 1; PATIENT_RESULTRep < ORU_R01Message.getPATIENT_RESULTReps(); PATIENT_RESULTRep++) {

          String pid3 = localTerser.get("/PATIENT_RESULT(" + PATIENT_RESULTRep + ")/PATIENT/PID-3-1");

          String pid18 = localTerser.get("/PATIENT_RESULT(" + PATIENT_RESULTRep + ")/PATIENT/PID-18-1");

          String pv119 = localTerser.get("/PATIENT_RESULT(" + PATIENT_RESULTRep + ")/PATIENT/VISIT/PV1-19-1");

//Rest of the stuff is my application specific

          for (int ORDER_OBSERVATIONRep = 0; ORDER_OBSERVATIONRep < ORU_R01Message.getPATIENT_RESULT(PATIENT_RESULTRep).getORDER_OBSERVATIONReps(); ORDER_OBSERVATIONRep++) {

            String obr2 = localTerser.get("/PATIENT_RESULT(" + PATIENT_RESULTRep + ")/ORDER_OBSERVATION(" + ORDER_OBSERVATIONRep + ")/OBR-2-1");

            String obr3 = localTerser.get("/PATIENT_RESULT(" + PATIENT_RESULTRep + ")/ORDER_OBSERVATION(" + ORDER_OBSERVATIONRep + ")/OBR-3-1");

            String obr4 = localTerser.get("/PATIENT_RESULT(" + PATIENT_RESULTRep + ")/ORDER_OBSERVATION(" + ORDER_OBSERVATIONRep + ")/OBR-4-1");

            //Rest of the stuff is my application specific

            for (int OBSERVATIONRep = 0; OBSERVATIONRep < ORU_R01Message.getPATIENT_RESULT(PATIENT_RESULTRep).getORDER_OBSERVATION(ORDER_OBSERVATIONRep).getOBSERVATIONReps(); OBSERVATIONRep++) {

                String obx3 = localTerser.get("/PATIENT_RESULT(" + PATIENT_RESULTRep + ")/ORDER_OBSERVATION(" + ORDER_OBSERVATIONRep + ")/OBSERVATION(" + OBSERVATIONRep + ")/OBX-3-1");

//Rest of the stuff is my application specific

            }

          }

      }

      // Now we need to generate a message to return. This will generally be

      // an ACK message.

      Message retVal;

      try {

          // This method takes in the MSH segment of an incoming message, and

          // generates an

          // appropriate ACK

          ret Val = DefaultApplication.makeACK((Segment) theMessage.get("MSH"));

      } catch (IOException e) {

          throw new HL7Exception(e);

      }

      return retVal;

    }

That's odd.

The following code works for me:

        ORU_R01 oru = new ORU_R01();
        oru.getMSH().getEncodingCharacters().setValue("^~\\&");
        oru.getMSH().getFieldSeparator().setValue("|");
        oru.getMSH().getMessageType().getMessageCode().setValue("ORU");
        oru.getMSH().getMessageType().getTriggerEvent().setValue("R01");
        oru.getMSH().getVersionID().getVersionID().setValue("2.5");
       
        terser = new Terser(oru);
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
            terser.set("/PATIENT_RESULT/ORDER_OBSERVATION/OBSERVATION(" + i + ")/OBX-1", "" + (i + 1));
            terser.set("/PATIENT_RESULT/ORDER_OBSERVATION/OBSERVATION(" + i + ")/OBX-3", "ST");
            terser.set("/PATIENT_RESULT/ORDER_OBSERVATION/OBSERVATION(" + i + ")/OBX-5", "This is the value for rep " + i);
        }

Which message version are you each using?

Cheers,
James
