Use this integration to receive structured pathology test results in GP practices from pathology laboratories.
This integration uses MESH to send and receive UN/EDIFACT based messages.
For more details, see the Pathology EDIFACT v1.003 Standard.
If you are building a system to receive pathology test results, you can use our Lab Results adaptor to receive these EDIFACT results via an easy-to-use FHIR-compliant format.
Before you begin any development work using this integration, contact us to discuss your best options.
Environments and testing
This integration uses MESH. As a developer, you are most likely to want to connect to MESH using either the MESH client or the MESH API.
For more details about using the MESH client, see MESH client.
For the MESH API, there are several independent, externally accessible instances of MESH you can use for testing. For full details, see MESH API - Environments and testing.
Onboarding
You must get your software onboarded before it can go live. The onboarding process can sometimes be quite long, so it's worth planning well ahead.
This integration has a specific onboarding process for new market entrant GP IT developers. This applies whether you are integrating with it directly or using our Lab results adaptor. Contact your GP IT delivery lead for more details.
For other use cases, contact us.
