Reply to author | Forward | Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author How do I know if LA*5.2*67 and LR*5.2*290 are installed in WVEHR? In EVE -> Prog -> KIDS -> Utilities --> Display and I put in LA for the package, 3 items come up and they all seem to have the 5.2 versions but the *67 and *290 part I am not sure of and do not see it particularly. Does WVEHR have these installed by default? These are possibly necessary to have installed per this document:

http://www.va.gov/vdl/documents/Clinical/Lab-Point_of_Care/lab_52_lr2...

"IRM Staff

IRM staff is required to install the VistA Laboratory Point of Care (POC) Interface Patches LA*5.2*67 and LR*5.2*290 software on the VistA systems. IRM staff must assist with the POC post implementation requirements setup, if needed. The POC post implementation requirements setup must to be coordinated with the LIM staff and Laboratory’s ADPAC or ATC."

The KIDS menu option uses FileMan to query the same file. Just the output is formatted better by the option. If you used the Display Patches for a Package option then what you are seeing is the query to select the package. Once you select the package then it will display the patches associated with that package. To check for a specific patch it sometimes is easier to use the Install File Print option.

Patches that are namespaced LR belong to the LAB SERVICE package. Patches that are namespaced LA belong to AUTOMATED LAB INSTRUMENTS package. The VistA Laboratory has two name spaces assigned LA and LR.

Reply to author | Forward | Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author I would ask on the Mirth forums to see what has been done. Normally, you get mirth to handle anything that involves parsing hl7, and then you use it to talk to your database/objects or whatever. Its pretty straightforward when dealing with SQL, not sure how to get it to talk to GTM.

Alternatively, if there is an HL7 parser in place, you can use mirth to get the right "dialect" of HL7 to get it to work with what is in place already in VistA.

I know that VistA can parse incoming hl7 messages, how does this happen?

See http://www.va.gov/vdl/Application.asp?appid=75

Specifically http://www.va.gov/vdl/documents/Clinical/Lab-Electr_Data_Intrchg_(LED...

The LEDI III software is to manage shipment of specimens, send and receive electronic orders and results with a reference lab be that another VAMC, DoD Lab or a commercial reference lab. It is predicated on the facility sending the order (collecting facility) also physically collecting and sending the laboratory specimen to the reference lab. Additionally, predicated on the premise that the collecting facility performs laboratory testing in-house, that only selected tests are sent to a reference lab and that testing can be sent to multiple reference labs concurrently. If there is no HL7 interface then only the shipping component is implemented.

Basically you: 1. Configure a shipping Configuration to specify the tests and other characteristics related to shipping the specimen/test to the reference lab. 2. Build a manifest using a selected Configuration to identify the specimens to ship. 3. Mark the manifest as shipped. 4. If HL7 interface then it sends electronic orders. 5. If HL7 interface wait for results to return via interface and accept results.

The LEDI software works in conjunction with normal laboratory operations. Therefore it assumes and uses the existing accessions that the facility has collected and started to process. The specimen id is the one the lab software assigns to the accession which for LEDI purposes the the accession's UID.

The accession label applied to the specimen will have the patient name, patient id, patient location, patient info, accession, ordered test, collection sample, urgency, and appropriate barcode.

P.S. by "written" I assuming your referring to printed labels. Use of handwritten labels are avoided and haven't been used for 10-15 years for patient safety reasons.

Reply to author | Forward | Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author John, Nancy, Our current nearly all paper lab works like this:

1) Doctor orders lab on paper in chart. Order is taken off by putting a pre-printed patient name, patient id number, age, dob label onto form containing about 40 check offs for labs desired. Nurse checks off which lab is ordered then puts the sheet into the binder with others for ward collect. This form comes with 6 small sticky labels with a 6 digit unique requisition number from the lab are pre-stocked in the hospital. 2) Phlebotomist arrives at 6 am and 3pm every day. Collects form in aforesaid 1) above, takes blood from patients, peels and sticks 6 digit unique requisition number and puts it onto the specimen container (tube, etc) just drawn. 3) Lab personnel carries specimens and forms like the form in 1) to the lab. The patients name, id number, date of birth, requisition number, pre-generated 7 digit specimen id that maps to requisition number, and test desired are entered into the lab computer. A sticky label with patient name, bar code and specimen id is generated stuck to the specimen container and placed in the instrument rack for testing. 4) Results are printed and faxed to the hospital. Nurses put reports into charts.

The current lab system is capable of sending us HL7 version 2.2 messages containing reports. It is unknown whether they can accept HL7 orders directly from our system.

Given all this, what do you think is the best way to proceed in getting this working with VistA?

Please note the section your attempting to implement - COLLECTION facility -- VA to DoD Laboratory Implementation Instructions This section is used to configure the software to communicate with a DoD Laboratory facility. The requirement to load DMIS ID codes is due to the use of DMIS ID codes to identify DoD CHCS Laboratory facilities. They are used similar to VA station numbers to identify VA facilities.

The option to load DMIS ID retrieves the DoD entries from the VA Master File Server which contains nationally controlled entries for institutions from the INSTITUTION file. It tasks a background process to update the local site's INSTITUTION file with military medical facilities. This process will probably fail due to the situation of the VA Master File Server being behind the VA firewall and the use of 10.x.x.x addresses which are not accessible from the public internet.

Additionally, your probably be better off following the setup instructions for a commercial reference lab. Page 81 - COLLECTION facility -- VA to Commercial Reference Laboratory

Note that there are specific setup instructions for each of the various scenarios. These setup variations affect how and what files/fields are configured and how and what information is contained in the files/fields.

f. Create a Load List to define and accept lab test results transmitted by the HOST facility lab. The Load List MUST contain ALL of the lab tests that are processed by the HOST facility lab

They have some examples on page 160 and 169 that don't look the same.

What is TAT on page 83? As in: • Schedule of testing and TAT

TAT - turn around time

Some tests may need to be tested within a certain period of time. When the reference lab performs/schedules the test may affect when the test is collected and/or shipped. If the test is only performed once/week and the specimen needs to be collected within 24 hours of testing then that affects when you collect the specimen and when you ship it.

Re: Load list - the LEDI software component of VistA Lab utilizes existing functionality of the Laboratory package. In this case reference laboratory test results are processed similar to lab personnel processing test results from a automated laboratory instrument. The laboratory usually has a load/work list configured to processes interfaced lab instrument test results. LEDI uses this existing functionality to also process reference lab results ("big automated instrument tin the sky").

The example on page 160 is an illustration of processing the results from a reference lab after the HL7 messages with the results has been received. The example on page 169 is an example of the option used to configure the load list that's used in the page 160 example.

It's like setting up a test first so that you can then select the test and order it on a patient. Or creating a clinic and setting up the appointment schedule so that you can schedule patients into the available slots for the clinic/day.

Reply to author | Forward | Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author Excellent. Is there an example somewhere on the specifics of creating a Load list? I have the commercial lab paper check off list of tests in front of me and it is about 40 tests. Examples are: 500372 Basic metabolic profile (Chem 7 CA) Red top tube, and 503053 ICAdmit (Intracare Admit panel) which consists of CMP (complete metabolic panel probably), CBC, RPR, TSH and Free T4 collected in a Red top and Lavender top. I am about to request of the lab all of the page 83 1c items. Is the 503053 test number and the rest something that VistA will accept and can transmit to their lab without code modification?

I'm not sure I follow the business setup.

From your description I'm taking away that this is a hospital setting using a manual system for ward and provider order entry and the laboratory has a separate lab-centric system.

1. What role are you attempting to use VistA Lab to address?

2. VistA Lab is part of an integrated system. Do you want VistA Lab to handle orders and display results? This would require that the general VistA package to be implemented, at minimum, PIMS (Patient Information Management System) - inpatient/outpatient, patient registration.

3. Are you implementing the general VistA system?

Before any interface to VistA Lab can be implemented the general VistA Lab package would require Configuration and implementation. If you just want to store results then exploring the Lab POC interface may be an alternative. It's designed to accept results for which no VistA Lab order exists and accepts and stores the results as ancillary testing, i.e. laboratory testing performed outside the clinical lab.

Correct.

> 1. What role are you attempting to use VistA Lab to address?

If possible, I would like to make lab ordering and results obtaining completely paperless. Failing that, electronic results reporting only with the paper ordering continuing until we can get it all paperless.

This is operational now.

Currently the lab can send us results via a HL7 2.2 message inside of a text file which can be sftp'ed or some such over. However, there would not be a corresponding order in the computer at this point. This would be beneficial. Is there a good setup document for the POC interface?

Lab POC documentation: http://www.va.gov/vdl/Application.asp?appid=149 Note that the Lab POC works on the business rule that no existing lab order exists in VistA Lab. It always creates a lab order, accession and associates the results with the order/accession created.

VistA HL package is not designed to handle FTPing of files. It's a system that supports messaging which involves message transmission, receipt and acknowledgment. Using FTP to wrap messages in a file makes it very difficult to handle exceptions and/or errors in message transmission, receipt or processing which could lead to dropped results and/or other patient safety situations. You may need to investigate the possibly of a interface engine to act as a front-end between the two systems.

> If possible, I would like to make lab ordering and results obtaining > completely paperless. Failing that, electronic results reporting only > with the paper ordering continuing until we can get it all paperless.

Paper ordering and electronic ordering will change the Business Rules and determine the type of interface you use. If you go with electronic ordering then you may need to use LEDI minus the ordering part if the orders on the external lab system are placed manually. The external lab system would need to send the VistA Lab accession UID as the "placer order number" in any HL7 messaging as VistA is playing the role of placer of the order. The external lab system is playing the role of "filler" and assigns a filler order number for processing within their system.

That shouldn't be a problem. The main difference is that in newer versions, additional messages and trigger events are available. VistA HL7 itself doesn't care much about the content of the messages (with certain obvious exceptions, such as the MSH and MSA segments). If it can parse these segments (along with any batch headers, if you use them) you should be okay.

RTFM - the documentation explicitly indicates it should be tasked as a scheduled option (task) in TaskMan. It's designed to run non-interactive and therefore has no inputs/outputs other than those documented in the option.

Lab Messaging Nightly Cleanup [LA7TASK NIGHTY] option Lab messaging will now check that Lab Messaging Nightly Cleanup [LA7TASK NIGHTY] option is scheduled in TaskMan. If not scheduled then an alert notifying members of mail group LAB MESSAGING will be generated. The alert message will read "Lab Messaging- Option LA7TASK NIGHTY is not scheduled in TaskMan". Note: Documentation regarding tasking can be found in the VistA Laboratory LEDI User Guide and on-line via the DESCRIPTION field of the OPTION file (#19) for this entry.

Lab Messaging Nightly Cleanup [LA7TASK NIGHTY] option Lab messaging has been modified and will now check that Lab Messaging Nightly Cleanup [LA7TASK NIGHTY] option is scheduled in TaskMan. If this option is not scheduled then an alert message notifying members of the LAB MESSAGING mail group is generated. The alert message will read "Lab Messaging- Option LA7TASK NIGHTY is not scheduled in TaskMan." The Lab Messaging Nightly Cleanup [LA7TASK NIGHTY] option is tasked to check the integrity of LA7 MESSAGE QUEUE file (#62.49) and purge messages that are eligible for purging. It also purges the following files related to LEDI - SHIPPING MANIFEST (#62.8), LAB SHIPPING EVENT (#62.85), and LAB PENDING ORDERS ENTRY (#69.6).

The Lab Messaging Nightly Cleanup [LA7TASK NIGHTY] option should be tasked daily, preferably during period when activity in the Lab Messaging (i.e. Universal Interface, LEDI) package is at a minimum. Prior to the purge of LA7 MESSAGE QUEUE file (#62.49), an integrity check is performed. The integrity check can be run with the following switches.

NOTE: Documentation regarding tasking can be found in the VistA Laboratory LEDI User Guide and on-line via the DESCRIPTION field of the OPTION file (#19) for this entry.

You'll need to change the HL version number of the protocols otherwise the HL package will reject the messages. The sending/receiving Application names and facilities are significant along with the message type, event type, version number and processing id. The sending system's message id should be unique. For the LEDI and POC interfaces enhanced mode acknowledgments are implemented.

The example is showing you how to schedule it in TaskMan using the option Schedule/Unschedule Options.

Select Systems Manager Menu Option: Taskman Management

Schedule/Unschedule Options One-time Option Queue Taskman Management Utilities ... List Tasks Dequeue Tasks Requeue Tasks Delete Tasks Print Options that are Scheduled to run Cleanup Task List Print Options Recommended for Queueing

On the second screen of the ScreenMan form when scheduling you can define the value for the variables as documented in the option description.

Select OPTION NAME:   LA7TASK NIGHTY     Lab Messaging Nightly Cleanup Another one: Standard Captioned Output? Yes// N (No) First Print FIELD: [CAPTIONED

Include COMPUTED fields: (N/Y/R/B): NO// BOTH Computed Fields and Record Number (IEN) Heading (S/C): OPTION List// DEVICE: HOME// 0;132;9999 TELNET OPTION List JAN 5,2009@23:05  PAGE 1

NUMBER: 8068                           NAME: LA7TASK NIGHTY                   MENU TEXT: Lab Messaging Nightly Cleanup TYPE: run routine                    CREATOR: USER,PATCH                    PACKAGE: AUTOMATED LAB INSTRUMENTS DESCRIPTION:  This is a tasked option to check integrity of LA7 MESSAGE QUEUE file (#62.49) and purge messages that are eligible for purging. It also purges the following files related to LEDI - SHIPPING MANIFEST (#62.8), LAB SHIPPING EVENT (#62.85) and LAB PENDING ORDERS ENTRY (#69.6)

This option should be tasked daily, preferably during period when activity in the Lab Messaging (i.e. Universal Interface, LEDI) package is at a minimum.

Prior to the purge of LA7 MESSAGE QUEUE file (#62.49), an integrity check is performed. The integrity check can be run with a couple of switches.

LA7FIX = 0 - do not fix errors 1 - do fix errors

LA7LOG = 0 - do not log errors in XTMP global. 1 - do log errors in XTMP global

LA7ION = name of device to print error report if set to            log errors (LA7LOG=1).

These parameters can be setup by TaskMan if the site defines them when scheduling the task.

An example is given below:

Edit Option Schedule Option Name: LA7TASK NIGHTY _____________________________________________________________________

VARIABLE NAME: LA7FIX                  VALUE: 0 VARIABLE NAME: LA7ION                  VALUE: "IRM DEVELOP LASER1" VARIABLE NAME: LA7LOG                  VALUE: 1

If errors are found, an alert is sent to members of the mail group "LAB MESSAGING" notifying them that errors were detected. If logging of errors occurred then alert recipients will be able to print/view error log from the alert system. Alternatively the error report can be printed using option Print Lab Messaging Integrity Check [LA7 PRINT INTEGRITY CHECK].

The integrity report can be run alone using option Lab Messaging File Integrity Checker [LA7 CHECK FILES]. INDEPENDENTLY INVOCABLE: YES         ROUTINE: EN^LA7PURG                    SCHEDULING RECOMMENDED: YES UPPERCASE MENU TEXT: LAB MESSAGING NIGHTLY CLEANUP

You should be able to create a Mirth channel that watches a directory for files, parses the data and places it into an HL7 message that gets sent off to your listener in VistA. How will they deliver the txt file -- FTP? - Ben

Reply to author | Forward | Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author Ignacio, I think using Mirth you can do this. Matt's clinic is about to do something this. Even with the major labs, you may have unsolicited results coming in that are just like this, so it a problem everywhere and those sorts of text files will have to be handled.

Most labs have HL7, but it is not HL7 that is strictly tied to the standard, which is why you need something like Mirth. Even if it is strict, I think that Mirth could be used with a straight pass-through.

LabCorp has a VistA specific Interface, written for the VA that plugs right into VistA via a VPN. Quest is working on the same. Many of the LabCorp reps in areas around the country have no idea that it exists, so it needs to be coordinated with someone in LabCorp that knows about it, so if you decide to go that route, please talk to me so I can help you connect the dots. However, for that there needs to be a "manifest" - that is a paper or other order that has the required elements so that the manifest can be generated in VistA and responded to by the lab to deliver the results in directly. Otherwise, results will be stored in a file for further processing to make it all work.

I am hoping John McCormach is going to be jumping in here to tell you everything that I told you that is wrong.

I am very excited about the project that is going to start at Clinica Adelante with LabCorp as I think it will be the first implementation of this VistA specific interface outside of the VA.

That said, look at what Bluecliff did for the VOE project for Laboratory interfacing which I think I pointed you at for the Mom and Pop lab. Also, the IHS and Clinica Adelante have done Quest interfaces, each one of which is different) and IHS did an old style LabCorp interface - i.e., not using the VA specific interface. There may be some help there.

Just whatever you do stay HIPAA compliant and use a secure/encrypted means of exchanging this information and avoid exposing your patient's medical information to the public.

Remember you can always fall back on string and tin cans...

VistA Lab uses/supports the VA VistA standard HL7 service on port 5000. That's just a VA standard. There is no predefined port. The VistA HL package does not "tie" a specific Application to a specific port. All Applications can be received on the same port as the MSH segment is inspected and routing within VistA is based on the routing information found in this segment. When connecting to non-VA services it's whatever the external service indicates they are monitoring.

You may want to conform to and avoid the standard ports assigned by IANA. http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers

Many network security devices now inspect the payload on TCP connections and compare them to the approved protocol for the port. If the payload does not conform to the protocol they will terminate the connection with prejudice as a network security violation.

This will allow you to actually get the tcp connection in place and resolve all of the networking and political issues that you need to get that done. Once it is place, mirth can both store a copy of the lab feed to a database, and it can forward the hl7 on to VistA. Once you are getting the lab feeds to mirth, then worry about getting into VistA. Once you start the VistA integration, then change the store and forward mirth instance to a store, munge and forward.

Reply to author | Forward | Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author

Given that CPRS is basically a shell that interacts with other VistA packages, for laboratory results to "show up" on the CPRS Lab tab requires lab orders and results be entered in the VistA Laboratory package.

There are three VistA Lab HL7 interfaces that accept and store lab results. Each is designed to support different business cases.

1. Lab Universal Interface is designed to send orders to lab automated instruments and accept and store the results. It's based on existing lab accessions which are transmitted to the instrument or which when the instrument sends the results transmits the VistA Lab specimen id associated with the accession to "marry up" the results with the existing lab order/accession. Note that this is NOT a CPRS order number instead a Laboratory ID associated with the particular specimen.

2. The next interface available is the Lab LEDI interface which interfaces VistA Lab with external reference labs. Again this is based on a placer/filler model in which VistA Lab transmits order information which is returned by the reference lab with the results. The order information returned with the results is used to associate these results with the existing order to complete the existing order and notify the ordering provider.

3. The third interface is the Lab Point of Care. This interface takes test results performed on point of care (ancillary testing equipment). The interface is based on the business case that no existing order exists in either CPRS or VistA Laboratory. Based on information transmitted (patient id, ordering provider, ordering location, orderable tests, specimen date/time, etc) by the POC system the Laboratory package creates a new order in VistA Laboratory and CPRS, then processes the results and stores them with the order just created.

In all three cases above these interfaces usually deal with a subset of all possible tests performed by a VA laboratory. This requires mapping of order and result test codes, specimen codes, ordering provider and verifying personnel. This is to meet Federal government (CLIA) and accreditation requirements. In attempting to handle ALL types of laboratory tests your probably dealing with 1000+ possible tests.

The interface that most closely matches the situation you describe is the Lab POC interface. However this would still require extensive Configuration and coordination with the external lab. The user guide and HL7 interface specification is available on the VA VistA VDL.

Then again there's always scanning them into TIU and signing them as progress notes.

Whatever you do just make sure the proper safeguards and system checks are in place to insure correct patient, provider, test and specimen identification. You don't want the system recording a PT/PTT on serum and pO2 on CSF.

Note that CPRS order numbers generate corresponding orders in the VistA packages it interacts with. A CPRS order (number) for laboratory will generate a VistA Laboratory order (number) which is further separated into one or more VistA Laboratory accession (numbers) which are the work unit/id used to process and perform the testing within the laboratory.

A CPRS order for CBC, UA and FBS and Renal panel will generate probably three lab orders (one for each specimen type - whole blood, urine and serum) and possibly four lab accessions as the various specimens and tests are routed within the laboratory.

Not an extra box, an extra process on the VistA box. No reason to have two CPUs.
