Project Digitalisation Labresults – QUESTIONS – ANSWERS
| DOMAIN | SUBJECT | QUESTION | ANSWER |
|---|---|---|---|
| LOINC codes | Conversion | What information do I need to provide when requesting a new ReTaM code? | Every request needs to provide the following info when requesting a new ReTaM code:
|
| LOINC codes | Conversion | How can you do the conversion between the codification system we use now and the LOINC codes ? |
There are mapping tables at your disposal between LOINC codes and Medidoc and RSW/FRATEM codes, which your LIS provider can use. https://www.vas.ehealth.fgov.be/webretam/retam/home.htm?eventName=MENU_SEARCH |
| LOINC codes | Storage | Where can you find these codes ? |
https://www.ehealth.fgov.be/standards/kmehr/en/page/retam-exports See also... https://github.com/hl7-be/lab/issues?q=retam |
| SNOMED CT codes | Conversion | Where can you find these codes? | Some resources (Specimen) use SNOMED CT codes. You can use values from the Belgian edition of SNOMED CT: https://browser.ihtsdotools.org/?perspective=full&conceptId1=404684003&edition=MAIN/SNOMEDCT-BE/2022-03-15&release=&languages=en,nl,fr . If the value is not available in the Belgian edition, you can use a value from the international edition, but signal this use to terminology@health.fgov.be with subject: New LOINC code in context Lab Result |
| Issues | eHealth | To whom can you address our questions and issues ? | The created github from eHealth is the place to ask questions or to signal a problem: |
| Fhir | Starting with | How do we start with Fhir ? | Technical workshop about Fhir organized by eHealth There are technical Q&A sessions organised every 6 weeks. Please send an email to support@be-ehealth-standards.atlassian.net |
| Visualization tool | Access | How can you start this tool ? | This is the link you need: https://fhir-testserver.be/index.php/visualization_webapp Attention: this is the final link |
| Hub-metahub system | Definition | What is this system ? | The hub-metahub system is a network between hubs (Cozo, VZN KUL,RSW, Abrumet) based referential databases, which can be used by a citizen or a caregiver to retrieve all medical reports for a certain cititzen published by healthcare organizations. |
| GP software solution | Finding results of medical examinations | How can a GP know the correct reference values in case of multiple tests ? | The GP can refer to the message. He can use a LOINC code. It’s up to each software vendor to foresee a solution by using graphs, stats … This subject will be treated by the hubs and a document will be published after analysis containing the parameters that can be used to question the hub-metahub system. |
| Use cases | Definition | What is use case ? | This term finds its origin in UML (Unified Modeling Language), the theoretical definition says: it’s a description of a behavior of a system that reacts on an input from the outside world. On a practical level you need to test a new application and therefore you need a set of real situations in input to be able to test your system and to control the validity of the outcome. The number and the quality of the use cases will determine the risk percentage on errors of your application. |
| API | Definition | What is an API? | API is short for Application Programming Interface. An API is a technical description of the system-to-system communication in terms of actions and input and output descriptions. |
| JSON | Definition | What is a JSON-file? | A JSON file is a file that contains data in a syntactic format that is currently popular. Other similar, but technically different syntaxes for data are XML, HL7v2, CSV,... |
| Test server | Access | What is the RIZIV/INAMI number of the Test Server eHealthBox | TestServer eHealthBox Address (Acceptance): Option 1: Recipient Address: 17166921 / Quality: DOCTOR / Identifier Type: NIHII Option 2: Recipient Address: 73100906111 / Quality: DOCTOR / Identifier Type: SSIN |
| Test server | Access | What are the SSIN numbers of the different testcases? | The list of SSIN numbers for the testcases can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Zpkz2_rBUYXOHI0f_eQQTXIrXdaTsiUc1qyOrIk-WmY/edit#gid=0 |
| Test server | Access | Where can I request a user for the testserver? | Request your user here: https://fhir-testserver.be/index.php/login If you send your messages using a eHBox with a RIZIV/INAMI number, do not forget to mention it! Otherwise a CBE is enough. |
| Test server | Documentation | Where is the manual for the test server? | https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1mZEasXjsMlOKJKt5jRoWcZc2tCKtnH4T/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=101628904260211620169&rtpof=true&sd=true |
