Navigation:  System Setup (F4) > Devices > Outbound Interface File > HL7 Interface > Mapping Table Syntax

The Mapping Table consists of one or more lines of ascii text, with each line representing a field in an HL7 record. Each line consists of up to 7 pieces of information, with each piece separated by a comma.

 

NOTES ON USE OF LOGICAL EXPRESSIONS:

 

Specify a "logical expression" on a mapping field if the value is only to be used based on a specific condition.

Any field that exists in the Reports table can be used in a logical expression without using bracketed field notation. If fields from other tables are required, then bracketed field notation must be used.

If bracketed fields are required, surround them with double-quotes. Example: "[r.doctor.d.elecsig)"="TRUE".

If testing a Boolean field, compare to "TRUE" or "FALSE" (double quotes required).

EXAMPLES:

The following is an example of a mapping table for creating an HL7 outbound result file.

The mapping table is defined in the "Interface Map" page of the Device file maintenance

The below logical expression will return the attending doctor's code in OBR,33,2 if the attending is not the dictating doctor.

 

R.ATTDR,OBR,33,2,,,ATTDR<>DOCTOR

 

The below logical expression will send an F (final) if a custom user field is not an addendum, and will send a C (correction) if the custom user field is an addendum:

 

F,OBR,25,1,,,12A_USER1<>"ADDENDUM"

C,OBR,25,1,,,12A_USER1="ADDENDUM"
