Combine OBX.5 into single OBX if OBX-3 value is the same

Question

I know a way to combine multiple OBX to a single OBX. But is there a way to combine the OBX-5 values into single OBX only if OBX3.2 value is the same?

Answer 1

Below is code that will combine the obx-5 based on the obx-3.2 value

var obx5Values = source.getAllNodes('OBX');

message.removeAllNodes('OBX');

var newObx5Value = '';

var obx32Map = qie.newParameterMap();

 

for (var i = 0; i < obx5Values.length; i++) {

   var obxSegment = qie.parseHL7String(obx5Values[i]);

   var obx32value = obxSegment.getNode('OBX-3.2');

   var obx5Value = obxSegment.getNode('OBX-5');

   // Check if in map.

   if (obx32Map.get(obx32value) === null){

      // If not in map then add obx segment back and add to map.

      obx32Map.put(obx32value, obx5Value);

      message.addChild('/', 'OBX', obxSegment.getNode('/'));

   } else {

      // If in map then add obx-5 to current obx segment

      message.setNode('OBX[@3.2=' + obx32value + ']-5', message.getNode('OBX[@3.2=' + obx32value + ']-5') + ' ~ ' + obx5Value);

   }

}
