The Lab Order workflow between OpenELIS and OpenMRS will use the FHIR Workflow Module and suggested Communication Patterns to implement the ordering of lab tests from OpenMRS to OpenELIS and the returning the results to OpenMRS.
The current communication workflow uses HL7 V2.5.1 messages as documented here: (https://github.com/openelisglobal/openelisglobal-core/wiki/Result-Reporting). This functionality is implemented in openmrs-module-labintegration, an OpenMRS module made for an implementation of OpenMRS deployed in Haiti called iSantePlus.
Communication Overview
Implementation Guide
- Install iSantePlus using the following instructions:
- links to code etc.
- Install the OpenMRS FHIR module
- Install the OpenMRS iSantePlus Lab on FHIR module
- Start up the Update Task.
- Install OpenELIS
Required FHIR Resources
Task
The Task resource is created along with the corresponding ServiceRequest resource when a clinician creates a TestOrder and decides to send it to OpenELIS.
This resource is used to track the status of the lab order request from initiation to completion, and as a container for all other resources related to the given order.
Example Task:
{
"resourceType": "Task",
"id": "88ffa7fb-0419-4097-8b45-24f0d843c5ea",
"identifier": [
{
"system": "http://isanteplus.org/ext/task/identifier",
"value": "88ffa7fb-0419-4097-8b45-24f0d843c5ea"
}
],
"basedOn": [
{
"reference": "ServiceRequest/ebf83ba0-9d3c-497f-9aa0-d839ec506202",
"type": "ServiceRequest"
},
{
"reference": "ServiceRequest/73e96ecb-a78d-41c8-a55f-d9b90f759e5f",
"type": "ServiceRequest"
}
],
"status": "requested",
"intent": "order",
"for": {
"reference": "Patient/e14e9bda-d273-4c74-8509-5732a4ebaf19",
"type": "Patient"
},
"encounter": {
"reference": "Encounter/7f5aabd9-6375-47c8-a8d6-30f219b6e2f1",
"type": "Encounter"
},
"authoredOn": "2020-04-28T17:33:19+00:00",
"owner": {
"reference": "Practitioner/f9badd80-ab76-11e2-9e96-0800200c9a66",
"type": "Practitioner"
}
}
ServiceRequest
The ServiceRequest resource represents the TestOrder placed in OpenMRS. It is referenced from the Task with the Task.basedOn element, and sent to OpenELIS with the Task to initiate the processing of the order.
Example Service Request:
{
"resourceType": "ServiceRequest",
"id": "73e96ecb-a78d-41c8-a55f-d9b90f759e5f",
"status": "active",
"intent": "order",
"code": {
"coding": [
{
"code": "790AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
},
{
"system": "http://loinc.org",
"code": "14682-9"
},
{
"system": "urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113883.3.7201",
"code": "790"
}
]
},
"subject": {
"reference": "Patient/e14e9bda-d273-4c74-8509-5732a4ebaf19",
"type": "Patient"
},
"encounter": {
"reference": "Encounter/7f5aabd9-6375-47c8-a8d6-30f219b6e2f1",
"type": "Encounter"
}
}
DiagnosticReport
The DiagnosticReport resource is the container for the results of an Order, and holds these results in the DiagnosticReport.result element as references to Observation resources.
Example Diagnostic Report
{
"resourceType": "DiagnosticReport",
"id": "93",
"meta": {
"versionId": "1",
"lastUpdated": "2020-04-28T17:33:36.163+00:00",
"source": "#55t4lpDZF4q3TCZ0"
},
"text": {
"status": "generated",
"div": "<div xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\"><div class=\"hapiHeaderText\"> Untitled Diagnostic Report </div><table class=\"hapiPropertyTable\"><tbody><tr><td>Status</td><td>FINAL</td></tr></tbody></table></div>"
},
"identifier": [
{
"system": "https://isanteplusdemo.com/openmrs/ws/fhir2/",
"value": "ebf83ba0-9d3c-497f-9aa0-d839ec506202"
}
],
"status": "final",
"code": {
"coding": [
{
"code": "1008AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

},
"subject": {
"reference": "Patient/2"
},
"result": [
{
"reference": "Observation/92",
"type": "Observation"
}
]
}
Observation
The Observation resource contains the results of the Lab Order request.
Example Observation:
{
"resourceType": "Observation",
"id": "92",
"meta": {
"versionId": "1",
"lastUpdated": "2020-04-28T17:33:36.124+00:00",

Example Patient:
{
"resourceType": "Patient",
"id": "e14e9bda-d273-4c74-8509-5732a4ebaf19",
"identifier": [
