Please ignore, I was rushing too much I missed reading the FAQ. Please close!

Missing message types on some model versions

Rodrigo Majuelojr — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 02:44:29 -0000

Hi team, this is more of a question rather than a bug. I've noticed that there are certain message types that are available in one version but not in another e.g. ADT^A11 (Cancel Admit) is not available in v2.4 but is so on v2.3.1 and v2.5. Does this mean that there were no changes in from v2.3.1 to 2.4, thus not included?

If the above is the case, in the HL7 payload, is the source system expected to send ADT^A11 with model number 2.3.1 or 2.5?

Thanks.

#258 How to instantiate a PRT segment for a A01 transaction

Thanks Chris. I get it now. Your solution worked.

#258 How to instantiate a PRT segment for a A01 transaction

Christian Ohr — Wed, 30 Sep 2020 10:02:04 -0000

PRT is not a segment that is defined for the events you mentioned. Therefore you have to use a more generic way:

You can add it to the message using addNonStandardSegment("PRT") (optionally with index position) and then obtain it with PRT prt = (PRT)a01.get("PRT")

How to instantiate a PRT segment for a A01 transaction

SWAROOP CHAKRABORTY — Wed, 30 Sep 2020 05:45:57 -0000

hi, I want to have a PRT segment in a A01 transaction, I have the following method which creates a A01 with MSH EVN and PID but for PRT I am nots ure how to instantiate in A01. In fact I want to instantiate a PRT segment for the following transactions

A01
A03
A04
A05
A06
A07
A08

public static void main(String[] args) throws HL7Exception, IOException {
ADT_A01 a01 = new ADT_A01();
a01.initQuickstart("ADT", "A01", "P");
MSH mshSegment = a01.getMSH();

    mshSegment.getSendingApplication().getNamespaceID().setValue("DAY3-SENDERAPP");
    mshSegment.getSequenceNumber().setValue("123");

    EVN evnSegment = a01.getEVN();
    evnSegment.getEvn2_RecordedDateTime().setValue(getEventTime());
    evnSegment.getEvn6_EventOccurred().setValue(getEventTime());

    PRT prtSegment = a01.getPRT(); // error here.
    prtSegment.getActionCode().setValue("1");

    PID pid = a01.getPID();
    pid.getPid3_PatientIdentifierList(0).getIDNumber().setValue("457");
    pid.getPid3_PatientIdentifierList(0).getAssigningAuthority().getNamespaceID().setValue("28");
    pid.getPid3_PatientIdentifierList(0).getIdentifierTypeCode().setValue("ZPN");

    pid.getPid5_PatientName(0).getFamilyName().getSurname().setValue("Chakraborty");
    pid.getPid5_PatientName(0).getGivenName().setValue("Swaroop");
    pid.getPid5_PatientName(0).getSecondAndFurtherGivenNamesOrInitialsThereof().setValue("Babu");
    pid.getPid5_PatientName(0).getNameTypeCode().setValue("L");
    pid.getPid11_PatientAddress(0).getStreetAddress().getStreetOrMailingAddress().setValue("121 Demo Road");
    pid.getPid11_PatientAddress(0).getCity().setValue("Malvern");
    pid.getPid11_PatientAddress(0).getStateOrProvince().setValue("PA");
    pid.getPid11_PatientAddress(0).getZipOrPostalCode().setValue("19355");
    pid.getPid11_PatientAddress(0).getCountry().setValue("USA");
    pid.getPid11_PatientAddress(0).getAddressType().setValue("M");
    pid.getPid13_PhoneNumberHome(0).getTelecommunicationUseCode().setValue("PRN");
    pid.getPid13_PhoneNumberHome(0).getTelecommunicationEquipmentType().setValue("PH");
    pid.getPid13_PhoneNumberHome(0).getCountryCode().setValue("1");
    pid.getPid13_PhoneNumberHome(0).getAreaCityCode().setValue("91");

    HapiContext context = new DefaultHapiContext();
    Parser parser = context.getPipeParser();

    String encodedMessage = parser.encode(a01);
    System.out.println("Printing ER7 Encoded Message:");
    System.out.println(encodedMessage);

Can't I create PR1_11_1 field in HAPI v281?

SWAROOP CHAKRABORTY — Thu, 16 Apr 2020 07:10:00 -0000

Hi, I am using the HAPI v281 for generating HL7 message, but whenever I try to create a PR1_11 message it gives me a validation error saying:

Thanks that was it.

#255 PR1-REPETITION PROBLEM TERSER

Christian Ohr — Mon, 09 Mar 2020 16:35:33 -0000

This is because PR1 is not repeatable, but the surrounding PROCEDURE group is.

        String msg = "MSH|^~\\&|||||20200301114708.448+0530||ADT^A01^ADT_A01|106701|P|2.5\r" +
                "PR1|654^^^654~^^^654||^^^^^654^654|^^^^^^654\r" +
                "PR1|1\r" +
                "PR1|2\r" +
                "PR1|3";

        Message a01 = new PipeParser().parse(msg);
        Terser terser = new Terser(a01);

        terser.set("/.PROCEDURE(1)/PR1-1-4", "234");
        terser.set("/.PROCEDURE(2)/PR1-1-4", "345");

        System.out.println(a01.toString().replace('\r', '\n'));

and the output will be

MSH|^~\&|||||20200301114708.448+0530||ADT^A01^ADT_A01|106701|P|2.5
PR1|654^^^654~^^^654||^^^^^654^654|^^^^^^654
PR1|1^^^234
PR1|2^^^345
PR1|3

#256 EVN is not recognized (2.5.1)

Christian Ohr — Mon, 09 Mar 2020 16:21:28 -0000

There is likely no proper HL7 segment separator after the 2.5.1 at the end of the MSH segment, so it treats the beginning of the next line as part of the version number.
Segment separator must be a "\r" (corresponding to file saved with Mac linebreaks).

EVN is not recognized (2.5.1)

Daniel Brownell — Mon, 09 Mar 2020 14:03:52 -0000

Hi,

I'm getting an exception

ca.uhn.hl7v2.HL7Exception: The HL7 version 2.5.1
EVN is not recognized
at ca.uhn.hl7v2.parser.Parser.assertVersionExists(Parser.java:527) ~[387:hl7Service:5.0.10]
at ca.uhn.hl7v2.parser.Parser.parse(Parser.java:208) ~[387:hl7Service:5.0.10]
at ca.uhn.hl7v2.parser.PipeParser.parse(PipeParser.java:1018) ~[387:hl7Service:5.0.10]
at com.company.hl7Server.MessageHandler.process(MessageHandler.java:177) ~[387:hl7Service:5.0.10]
...

The start of my message, from the third party is like:

MSH|^~\&|SYSTEM|DFT|HOSPI|BILLING|20200227133531||DFT^P03|GEO000031|P|2.5.1
EVN|P03|20200227133531
followed by PID, PV1, FT1, IN1.

And the third party software is based on 2.5.1 (and says 2.5.1 in MSH).

How do I parse this without getting the error? I see there is an EVN in 2.5.1?
