Implement ASTM channel #1323

Closed rbeckman-nextgen closed 4 years ago

rbeckman-nextgen commented 4 years ago

It could be very useful to implement an ASTM channel in Mirth. A lot of hospitals are using analyzers (blood tests, biochemistry, etc) but none speaks the ancient ASTM (ER7 based), only their own software.

Of course, I could test ASTM channels on my own analyzers!.

Channels should not be requested through the Mirth Connect issue tracker. Perhaps this is something that could be requested on Mirth Exchange or posted in the general discussion forum.

As far as I can tell, the ASTM protocol can not currently be implemented in Mirth. The low-level protocol requires specific low-level TCP stuff that I believe will require a code change.

For info on the protocol, see http://content.yudu.com/Library/A13csh/LIS01ASTMmessageform/resources/index.htm

As some background: See http://www.ehrweb.org/ehrweb/ehrstatus/pages/nccls.htm

There are two standards that are primarily relevant here:

The first encodes the low level protocol, and (as I see it) definitely requires new code to implement in Mirth. The second defines the message format, and it may be possible to simply treat it as an HL7 message (it is also CRLF, pipe, and ^-delimited but has different segments (e.g. an H segment instead of MSH).

I am interested in contributing to get this feature implemented, as it would be very helpful for me to have access to this feature.
