The purpose of this document is to provide a list of guidelines on how to install and configure the hl7query module for use.

Requirements

The hl7query module can be installed on OpenMRS 1.8.2 or higher. However, each message template can only be used against the OpenMRS versions it supports.

Managing custom settings

The module can be installed as per any other OpenMRS module. However, it is nessesary to configure the module folllowing installation. The module consists of several settings (formerly Global Properties from platform1.8 downwards) which must be set. These properties can be seen on the hl7query settings form.

Each of these parameters must be changed as per the users requirements.

Adding the Implementation ID

The OpenMRS hl7query module uses concept mappings to exchange concepts / observations. However, not all concepts may have mappings. In the event that a concept which needs to be exported lacks a concept mapping, we will map it against the Implementation Id of the implementation.

Therefore, it is ESSENTIAL that you add an Implementation ID to represent your implementation.
