exchange the patient state within a healthcare facility. ADT messages keep patient demographic and visit information synchronized across healthcare systems. ADT is the most commonly used HL7 messaging type, with most clinical applications enabled to receive key ADT messages. ADT messages within the HL7 standard are typically initiated by the Hospital Information Systems (HIS), or a registration application, to inform ancillary systems that a patient has been admitted, discharged, transferred, merged, that other demographic data about the patient has changed (name, insurance, next of kin, etc.) or that some visit information has changed (patient location, attending doctor, etc.).

Order (ORM) is any request for materials (e.g., 500 ml of 2.5% saline) or services (e.g., a range of motion study, an EKG, a lipid panel, etc.). Orders are usually for a particular patient, but they can also be for a department (e.g., floor stock) or for a non-patient (e.g., an environment study where no specific patient is involved.) The transmission of clinical orders occurs between the application placing the order (the placer) and the clinical application filling the order (the filler). Typically, the caregiver (e.g., physician) is entering orders on the HIS application which acts as theplacer application in HL7 messaging parlance. The system to which the order is targeted (e.g., the lab in the case of a complete blood count order) is the filler of the order.
The HL7 ORM-O01 message functions as a general order message that is used to transmit information about an order. There is only one type of ORM message the ORM-O01 message. Trigger events for the ORM-O01 message involve changes to an order such as new orders, cancellations, information updates, discontinuation, etc. ORM messages are among the most widely used message types in the HL7 standard.
An order can be defined as a "request for service" that is sent between applications, or in some cases within a single application (an application can send orders to itself). An ORM message is composed of segments and groups of segments, each of which may be required, optional, repeatable, or a combination of these (see HL7 cardinality). The segments and groups of segments in the ORM-O01 message include the following:
PatientGroup Optional group (Required for new orders pertaining to a patient only) PID PID1 NTE-1 Patient identification Patient demographics Notes and comments Required Optional Optional, Repeatable
PatientVisitGroup Optional group, part of PatientGroup PV1 PV2 Patient visit Patient visit additional info Required Optional

Like ADT messages, ORM messages contain a PID segment to provide patient identification information. However in the ORM message, this segment is only required in the case of new orders and only if the new order is related to a particular patient. Unless both of these conditions are met, the PID segment will not be included in the message. The OBX (Observation) segment also has a special function in the ORM message when compared to its use in other message types, such as the ORU (Observational Report - Unsolicited) message. In the ORM message, the OBX segment is part of an optional and repeatable group called the Observation group. When used, it carries clinical information that might be needed by the receiving system to interpret the observation that will be made, rather than information about observations and results (as in the ORU message). In HL7 pipe and hat format, an ORM message would look like this:
ORU-R01 message transmits observations and results from the producing system/filler i.e. LIS, EKG
system) to the ordering system/placer (i.e. HIS, physician office application). It may also be used to transmit result data from the producing system to a medical record archival system, or to another system not part of the original
order process. ORU messages are also sometimes used to register or link to clinical trials, or for medical reporting purposes for drugs and devices. Types of observations reported in the ORU-R01 message include:
Clinical lab results Imaging study reports EKG pulmonary function study results Patient condition or other data (i.e. vital signs, symptoms, allergies, notes, etc.)
The ORU message is a structured report where each observation is separated into an individual entity, and then separated into fields. ORU messages do not carry images; they use varying data types but most often use text, numbers and codes. In the ORU message, the OBR (Observation request) and OBX (Observation) segments are most significant due to their functions:
The OBR segment is used in all ORU messages as a report header, and contains important information about the order being fulfilled (i.e. order number, request date/time, observation date/time, ordering provider, etc.). This segment is part of a group that can be used more than once for each observation result that is reported in the message.
The OBX segment transmits the actual clinical observation results as a single observation or observationfragment. OBX segments can also be used more than once in the message, and may be followed by one or more NTE segments to provide additional notes and comments about the observation.
The segments and groups of segments in the ORU-R01 message include the following:
