Topic: Mapping v2 Unstructured Observation

Has anyone attempted to map a v2 ORU with unstructured data? Essentially this is a report presented as multiple OBX entries.
Peter Bernhardt (Aug 08 2016 at 19:07):
and those entries are lines of the narrative.

I did this as a POC at one point... fwiw if you're in Java HAPI-v2 has a method getValueAsHtml on the string datatypes. You need to manually join all of the repetitions with a \.br\ but HAPI-v2 will then handle converting all of the v2 formatting codes into HTML

Thanks, James. Unfortunately not using your awesome API (we're a .NET shop) and we'll be parsing out the v2 message like this. Did you store as Observation resource? If so, how did you code it?

Heh- well, if by chance you want to try and port the formatting conversion code: http://hl7api.sourceforge.net/base/apidocs/src-html/ca/uhn/hl7v2/model/primitive/FormattedTextEncoder.html
Yup, stored as observation resource. In our case OBR-4 had a code we chould use for Observation.code.

We get nuttin' useful.
