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."

I am not sure how you are only getting 3 items as there are many more.  Both
patches are installed.

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.

Is there a way to import HL7 lab report messages that have been
sftp'ed in a text file onto the server?

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?

Laboratory V. 5.2 Planning and Implementation Guide pdf on vdl has a
bunch of information on using the lab menus generally. 1994 though so
it says nothing about HL7.  Can anyone who has set up lab in

If you are looking to Interface with LabCorp, LabCorp has an interface written
specifically for VistA that many LabCorp folks do not know about.

Unfortunately, it isn't Labcorp, but I would really like to know how
anyone including with Labcorp has interfaced this with any lab as how
one actually does the workflow with an outside lab is as important as
the software. -- IV

See http://www.va.gov/vdl/[[application~|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~|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~|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.

John, This looks like what I was trying to find. How does one actually
id the sample tubes? I think that right now we wrap an id sticky label
with identifying data. With LEDI does one use similar or barcoding?

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.

So accession number is the critical value and the sample has the
accession number written on it for sure? Anything else usually on the

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.

This is something that runs at night for lab.

Look at this menu

VOE LAB OPTIONS

I think that may have an option to get that done for you.

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?

As I understand it, it moves the schedule for tasks not completed in a given
day to the next day so that things are properly dated and sequenced.

Load the DoD DMIS ID codes into your INSTITUION file (#4) using the

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.

I'm a little fuzzy on the specifics of how this is done from page 83:

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

Thanks!

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.

This just gave me a profound appreciation of what folks face when they talk to
doctors!  Also, it was good for a chuckle!

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~|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.

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~|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.

Paper ordering and electronic ordering will change the [[business rules~|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.

On page 78 it shows that the servers are configured with HL7 2.3
however, the local lab is speaking HL7 2.2 which is an option in the
VistA [[configuration~|Configuration]]. Will it mess something up for it to be HL7 2.2?
Am I just gonna have to find out? -- IV

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.

Any outputs are available via this option Print Lab Messaging Integrity
Check Report

If you want to initiate via an interactive option then use FIC    Lab

You'll need to change the HL version number of the protocols otherwise
the HL package will reject the messages.
The sending/receiving [[application~|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.

Why does the example at the bottom of page 84 look very different than
what I get, ie not blowing out to the gtm [[prompt~|Prompt]] (or equivalent)? Are
they starting it from a place I am unaware of?  Guess it is time to
learn how to start something in taskman...

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

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:

Um, for some reason it will not accept Jan 07, 2009 04:00:00 am and
many other variations I've tried as a valid time:

                          Edit Option Schedule
    Option Name: LA7TASK NIGHTY
    Menu Text: Lab Messaging Nightly Cleanup             TASK ID:

      RESCHEDULING FREQUENCY: 1D

             TASK PARAMETERS:

            SPECIAL QUEUEING: Persistent

_______________________________________________________________________________
Time must be at least 2 minutes in the future and type run, [[action~|Action]],
print

Changing or deleting this date/time field will re-queue
or un-queue the Option.

I've just been informed by the lab that they can only send me a text
file with an HL7 message, they cannot transmit it on a tcp port
because it is old software. Is there a way to take the file and fake
transmitting it onto the usual HL7 VistA listening port? Should I
entertain switching to a major lab that has done this before with
VistA? The Mom and Pop lab is not looking responsive. -- IV

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?

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~|Application]] to a specific
port.
All [[application~|Application]]s 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.

Okay, my local non-national lab is showing signs of life. They say
they are ready for a tcp connection to transmit HL7 lab messages. They
do not have the capability of taking orders from VistA, just the
current paper ordering system. I don't have the quick orders setup
either. Is there a simple way of receiving those lab results and
routing them to the Lab tab [[record~|Record]] using only patient demographics/
Health [[record~|Record]] number? It does not need to be fancy at this point. Any
electronic method is likely to be much better than the current paper
one.

I recommend that you use Mirth to accept the tcp connection that they
are offering and simply log the lab results to the database. 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.

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~|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.
