Step 2 - Performing HL7 <-> Translation |
- Open Chameleon, and complete the message definition for the sample ORU^R01 message. Follow the same basic procedure first described in the Graphical Table Mapping Exercise.
 | ||
| Note that there is a repeating segment in the message. | ||
 |
- Develop Python code that will translate the pre_translation.txt file into the post_translation.txt file.
 | ||
| For more information about Python, see Using Python Scripting. You may also want to review the HL7 <-> Translation documentation. | ||
 |
- Incrementally add HL7 <-> Translation functionality to your VMD file.
- Test these additions by executing msgtransform on pre_translation.txt.
- Compare the resulting output file to the post_translation.txt file using msgdiff, then incrementally add any other required HL7 <-> Translation functionality to the VMD file.
- You can re-iterate through using msgtransform and msgdiff as many times as necessary to achieve the desired format.
