Hi Team,

I am trying to use the inbuilt class: EnsLib.HL7.Service.FileService to pass through an HL7 ADT message as a part of an HL7 to FHIR transformation. We have a client requirement, where we are receiving an NTE segment as a part of the ADT message. I am trying to map the NTE segment to an OBX Segment. I need to implement a counter for OBX segment whenever a NTE segment is found and map the NTE fields to the new OBX segment

How do I implement the counter for OBX?

Thanks

Santosh

This is what DTLs are for. The example below shows a scenario using HL7 2.5.1's ORU_R01 message structure, where each OBX segment may be followed by one or more NTE segments. The OBX Set ID, Value Type and Observation Value fields are populated; the first by the value of tObxCounter, the second by the string "TX" and the third by the contents of the Note field. The highlighted area demonstrates the updating of newly added OBX segments with the contents of corresponding NTE segments.
