I am working on it. Unfortunately the answers i got are simple NOs. I can write standalone programs that can update the database but I wanted to know what would be the best way. Any way, i will dig into the database to find which tables to update when you get the results from instruments directly.
EDIT: Pardon me for referring clinlims as mysql, it is rather pgsql.

Hi @umair,
In what format are you getting the results from the instruments?
You can try using mirth connect to receive results from instrument and enter into elis database.
I had done a proof of concept by writing a HL7 listener on input side and database writer on output side. It seemed fairly simple and workable.
However, i haven’t yet got a chance to try it out in a production system connecting directly to an instrument.
May be you can try it out and let us know
On your second question, i would like to know how big is the lab that you are trying to have the barcode working?
When i had looked at this requirement for an implementation sometime ago, i had figured out that barcode reader (device or mobile with scanner app) would be required at multiple places as the samples flow to different departments and results get entered by different technicians there. In my case it didn’t seem worth at that point in time. In your case would the implementation be willing to invest and maintain those many instruments?
