How to update Patient's Diagnostic data and Lab results?

1

Hi can anyone help me - I’m looking to integrate Epic FHIR in 2 of my applications

  1. Radiology related - Where radiologists will read the study and will update it (findings, impressions etc). Now I want to send this data back to EPIC and want it to update it the EHR I will be connecting to.
    Is it possible through FHIR or do I have to use HL7?

  2. Lab Information system - LIS will have patient’s lab results and now I need to send it back to EPIC and in the EHR I am connecting

In both scenarios - I need patient’s data to be updated in the EHR I’m communicating through EPIC.

I saw Observations.Update method but not sure if that take Diagnostic data.

Any help is appreciated!

thanks

First, note that FHIR is also an HL7 standard. I presume by “HL7” you’re referring to “HL7 v2”?

Have you reached out to open@epic.com? In general, it’s best to follow up with the EHR directly first and ask questions here only if you don’t get a satisfactory answer.
