Good afternoon, we changed reference labs recently so I have been monitoring the 1072 errors in the activity log. My question is, there are some values that are coming back as a 'result' that we don't care to record in an obsterm and I was wondering if anyone has a situation like this and are you just looking through them or have you come up with a creative way to handle them?

I was at one of the CHUG's a little while back and sat in a Session on the Qvera Interface Engine (QIE) and learned how one company was using QIE to actually replace these "Result" values with the actual lab results so that the actual results would go into the Flowsheet instead of something that said "Result" or "See Note".
If you really don't want some particular results data at all, I'd suggest removing the segments related to those results prior to Linklogic/DTS picking them up.
If you want the data, but aren't interested in attaching it to an obs term, I'm afraid you'll have to ignore the 1072 messages. Alternately, you might consider attaching the results to a trash obs term that you'll never use and never put in a flowsheet view, but offhand I'm not sure of the potential repercussions that might have.
If you don't want 1072 messages at all, you can add "L3IgnoreMessages=1072" to emr.ini. If it is already there with other codes, just add 1072 like "L3IgnoreMessages=1,2,1072".

QIE can do that pretty easily. So can Mirth, which is what we use. Mirth is free.
