Converting an Encounter into HL7

[Talha Ahmad Siddiqui]

Hi

I am working on how to convert an encounter into an HL7 message. I have an encounter in my database with the uuid - f5ca12f2-fdcf-4f4a-8fea-8ba39130278e. 

I want to display/call this encounter in the form of an HL7 message in my module. How can this be done?

I followed the wiki for HL7 and it mentioned that we can use Rest Module and its HL7 resource. I tried using GET on this uuid but it is giving me error("Bad Request"- status 400). What is to be given as a uuid here? Does it require the uuid of the encounter or something else?

Thanks

Hi Talha,

If you want to generate an HL7 representation of an encounter, I think you need the HL7 Query module. See https://modules.openmrs.org/#/show/55/hl7query (I've never used this module myself, and haven't looked at the documentation.)

OpenMRS REST web services can provide you a JSON or XML representation of an encounter through the encounter resource. The HL7 resource is for POSTing HL7 messages to OpenMRS.
