We sent LAB, MIC and PTH results to another vendor via the HL7 interface. In Meditech's interface you have 2 choices on how you would like to send the results: discrete or text format. I chose to send MIC and PTH as text results. LAB has to go as discrete results. I didn't want all of the organism ID results, etc to go to the OV, so they essentially got the final report. It worked just fine. JoAnne Rajek BSMT (ASCP) Clinical Systems Analyst Sacred Heart-St Mary's Hospitals, Inc.

Labs are going across fine, it's the micro results I have a question on. In the HL7 data, all prompted ID procedures that are resulted when identifying organisms are included. I specifically sent instructions to the physician's EMR vendor on what to look for in the data, but I don't think they get it. When they bring it into their system they post every result that's in an OBX segment, this includes all the ID testing results (i.e. Growth on certain plate, lactose test, etc). In addition, even though I sent the organism mnemonics and names, they are only applying the mnemonic as the organism ID in their system. I was assuming (unfortunately) that the vendor interface would set up their side to only accept those results that I indicated when sending them the test info. They, however expect us to edit the HL7 before sending ( no engine right now, one's coming). How do others handle micro results to physician office EMR's?
