Step 5 - Adding Another Table

At this point, you have your HL7 interface handling both patient update (ADT^A04) and patient discharge (ADT^A03) messages. Now, for the purposes of this example, suppose you also would like your interface to handle a patient merge (ADT^A18) HL7 message. It's going to be as easy as adding a new message to your mapping file, along with a new table. Once this is done, you will need to re-export the tables from Iguana so that your database is set up and ready to receive the new information.
