Hi Everyone,

We have a requirement to integrate with a lab system utilizing HL7 version 2.5.1 to send orders to the lab and receive results from the lab. Has anyone already done this?

Thanks, Craig

Hi @criz0214, so far i haven’t come across OpenMRS integration with any Lab System using HL7 standard. Would love to know if any one tried. Can you please let us know which Lab System you are going to use?. In [Bahmni](http://www.bahmni.org/) Product, we are using OpenELIS for Lab management integrated using [ICT4H Atomfeed Sync](https://bahmni.atlassian.net/wiki/display/BAH/Atom+Feed+Based+Synchronization+in+Bahmni). For more details you can watch this video on [Bahmni Atomfeed Synchronization](https://bahmni.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=37945615).
