Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

An extension of the aranyasen/hl7 build specifically modified for ORM^001 messages. This package solidifies the relationship between OBX and OBR segments by giving them a concrete parent/child relationship.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require nstaff/hl7-orm001
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Parsing

[](#parsing)

See aranyasen/hl7 for basic usage details

### Using obx - obr relationship

[](#using-obx---obr-relationship)

```
    //With a new message instantiated
    $obrArray = $msg->getOBRs();
    $obxs = $obrArray[0]->getOBXs();
```

Fields can be accessed using aranyasen library. However some additions were made/overridden

```
    //Gives the type of the segment. OBX.3
    $obxs[0]->getType();
    //Gives the value of the segment OBX.5
    $obxs[0]->getValue();
```

Child OBXs are can be assigned at runtime

```
    $obrArray[0]->addOBX($myObxVar);

```

For convenience, plain language getters setters for ordering provider have been added to the OBR segments to do nested array access on first and last name. Typically:

```
    $obr->getOrderingProvider();

```

will return an array. To make life simpler this wrapper was also added to provide direct access to first and last names:

```
    $obr->getOrderingProviderFirst();
    $obr->getOrderingProviderLast();

```

Additionally retriving test code and plan language test name for the OBR were added:

```
    $obr->getTestCode();
    $obr->getTestName();

```
