Storing HL7 Observation Results (ORU) Data in the Packaged EHR Data Model
This Page
All Documentation
The ORU message transmits observations and results from the producing system (such as an EKG or MRI system) to the ordering system (such as a physician’s office).
These mappings build on the mappings specified in the ADT message for the common segments.
Note
ORU Order (ORC)
