java, hl7 and openmrs

[Hugo Valdovinos]

Hi everyone, I've been trying to send a message from Java to Openmrs to create a patient visit. I've been searching and I know I need to use a HL7 message to do it. As a matter of fact, I found the library HAPI but I have no idea how to use it with Openmrs. So, Could you please tell me, how can I configure Openmrs to accept this messages from my java aplication. I mean how to create my own message HL7 with my own data.

Hi Hugo,

Is it a requirement of yours to use HL7?

If you're writing Java code, and you want to create a patient visit in an OpenMRS database, the standard approach would be to use the Java API. Alternately, if it's part of a distributed system, you could consider REST Web Services. (Peeking at the documentation it looks like the RESTWS module doesn't currently support Visits, but this would be straightforward to add.)

Good to know.

The documentation page on the wiki ( https://wiki.openmrs.org/x/sgc3AQ ) doesn't list this.

I think we need to ensure that our release processes for new versions of the RESTWS and 19ext modules to ensure that we update the documentation.
