Hi - I was asked recently about ELR of genetic sequencing - has anyone done this and how? I know we get sequencing for HIV, but have not tried to figure out how to process it in our data exchange system for eHARs. thanks

Hi Nancy, this issue came up in Arkansas last year and eventually we were able to figure out a way to turn Quest HL7 messages into a flat file that our eHARS would accept. It is not ideal but it more or less works. I assume the process would be similar for HIV sequences from other labs, as long as the HL7 messages are somewhat similar.

We did this using an R script that runs on a schedule and writes the flat files to a folder where someone can then import them into eHARS by hand. I'm sure there are other, more efficient ways to do it, probably including a route in your integration engine. If helpful I can find our code and send a copy. Thanks, Alan
