Uploading results to MeHR

Pathology and imaging results can be uploaded from Communicare to MeHR automatically.

To upload results, the following criteria must be met:

MeHR module must be enabled on File > System Parameters > System tab and the correct details set on the MeHR tab
Argus must be set up and working
The patient must be registered with MeHR

Results received in any of the following formats are uploaded to MeHR:

Plain text
PDF
HTML

To ensure that pathology results are uploaded to MeHR, use the following workflow:

In the patient's clinical record, check that their MeHR profile is green.
If it is not, in the Patient Biographics, on the Personal tab, check the number in the MeHR field and that the patient shows as Registered.
In the registered patient's clinical record, when you add a pathology or imaging investigation request, in the Add Investigation Request window, ensure that Send this investigation's results to MeHR is set.
When you close the service, in the Service exit window, ensure that Send to MeHR is set.
When you receive the result and open it from Documents and Results, in the Match and Review Result window, ensure that you match the pathology result to the investigation request created in step 2.

The result is queued to save to MeHR:

When the CCareQueue_ehr process runs, the result is saved to outgoing documents.
When the CCareQueue_argus process runs, the result is sent to MeHR.

After the result has been sent to MeHR, clinicians can view the result on the MeHR portal.
