For OnBase to extract data from HL7 transcription messages, the messages must meet the HL7 transcription message requirements. This section describes the HL7 message requirements for transcription import processes in the HL7 module.

Note:

For information about configuring OnBase to process and create transcriptions from data contained in OBX segments, see File Formats for HL7 Transcription Documents.

The following fields are used in transcription processing:

Field

Location

Field Name

Transcription Requirements

OBX

2

Value Type

This field specifies the data type for the data in OBX.5. OBX.2 and OBX.5 go together for transcription purposes.

If the Document Type is Text format, then the contents of OBX.2 must be ST, FT, TXT, or TX(all of which mean text format) in order for OBX.5 to be parsed for the special formatting characters or tildes (~), to be handled appropriately.

For information about formatting text, see the following topics, Wrapping Long Text Lines and Specifying Line Breaks.

Note:

For non-text documents, this value is ignored.

OBX

5

Observation Value

Actual data to save to a document. If the Document Type assigned to the HL7 import process is not Text format, then the contents of OBX.5 are dumped to the destination document file without text parsing for special characters like the tilde (~), which denotes repeating fields.
