  • Here's an example of an HL7 message that might be sent from a hospital's electronic medical record (EMR) system to a laboratory information system (LIS) to request lab test results for a patient:

 MSH|^~\&|Hospital EMR|Hosp1234|Lab LIS|Lab5678|20230224120000||ORM^O01|123456789|P|2.3|
 PID|1||PAT1234^^^Hospital MRN||Doe^John||19800501|M|||123 Main St.^^Springfield^IL^62704||555-555-1234|||S||PAT12345678^^^Hospital Account|
 ORC|NW|123456789^Hospital EHR|LAB-12345|Ordered|||20230223120000|||||Doe^Jane|||Hosp1234|^^^Hospital Dept|

• Here's a breakdown of the segments and fields in this example HL7 message:
  • The message header (MSH) segment contains information about the message, such as the sending and receiving systems, the message type (ORM^O01 for an order message), and the message ID.
  • The patient identification (PID) segment contains demographic information about the patient, including the patient's medical record number (PAT1234), name, birthdate, address, and phone number.
  • The order control (ORC) segment contains information about the order, such as the order status (NW for new order), order number (123456789), and ordering provider information.
  • The observation request (OBR) segment contains information about the laboratory test being requested, such as the test name (Blood Test), priority (P for routine), and relevant patient information.
• This HL7 message is just an example, and the actual format and content of an HL7 message may vary depending on the specific use case and systems involved.
