Hi Crizelle, Just to add to what Bob mentioned about using HL7 Channel in MIRTH would not be of much use to DHIS because HL7 is primarily used to transfer individual patient observations or patient data. In DHIS, we would like to receive the aggregates of these observations and then import into D

Crizelle, just for curiosity, is this somehow linked to the old eBHRIMS (eBotswanaHIVResponseInfoMngtSystem or something like that) from a few years back? It was a local company that was hired by UNAIDS to develop such a switchboard, as it was also called then, between CRIS2 and DHIS1.4. It w

This was actually the approach taken by a team in South Africa in 2008 and early 2009 to link OpenMRS and DHIS2, though I don't think it was put in production. Knut On Wed, Feb 16, 2011 at 10:30 PM, Bob Jolliffe wrote: > HL7 is for patient data so we shouldn't need to interface directly > with i

HL7 is for patient data so we shouldn't need to interface directly with it. Possibly they are considering building an aggregation filter in Mirth to produce something like SDMX from the patient data. Don't know. I am not there to negotiate. But you need to negotiate hard (on your side of the f

Hi everyone, In Botswana they are discussing developing a software tool (MIRTH) to act as a switchboard between all health systems. For example if you want to export data from their patient-based system (IPMS) to the DHIS 2 for example, you would use the MIRTH interface to do it. It essentially ac
