Integration with OpenEMR

I am trying to integrate open-elis and OpenEMR for lab orders.
Can anyone guide me on how to implement it?

Hi! Welcome!

Iā€™m not quite sure what OpenEMR supports, but OpenELIS Global can exchange both HL7 v2 messages and FHIR, so hopefully one of those will work. EMR and LIS Data Exchange Knowledge Base This link has a lot of information of the API and how the exchange works with OpenMRS.

In Summary , OpenELIS supports Lab Order Workflows which uses the FHIR Workflow Module based on OpenHIE specification for standard lab ordering between an EMR and LIS.

The Above Work flow is system agnostic, so any system can support it.

@caseyi @Moses_Mutesasira perfect thread for me to ask a relevant question.

I am assuming you are talking about the lab workflow mentioned here.

  1. Is it possible to operate without OpenHIE, with just the IOM layer?

  2. Setting up an HIE, and making it operational is a different case altogether - for much simplified scenario for multi-clinic <=> multi-lab setup, would simple FHIR ServiceRequest and DiagnosticReport API be enough? I am assuming the FHIR DiagnosticReport report is already generated in OEG2 to exchange with IOM.

Yeah , the exchange can be done point to point with OpenMRS directly communicating to OpenELIS without the SHR and IOL layer.
