HL7 - Assigned Patient Location

I must generate HL7 file but i 'm facing problem with PV1 segment.

I don't find how to set Facility variable with my value

enter image description here

i use hapi but i don't find their java method that allows that...

i succed for setting PV1-9 Consulting doctor field :

msg.getPV1().insertConsultingDoctor(0).getGivenName().setValue(nomMedecin);

but there is no insertXxx method for setting PV1-3.4 field, just one to get the value : 

msg.getPV1().getPv13_AssignedPatientLocation().getFacility();
Solution

  • The API of HAPI is a bit unusual since most of the times, there is no need to instantiate objects. Just calling the get method gives you an object:

    HD facility = msg.getPV1().getPv13_AssignedPatientLocation().getPl4_Facility();

    This gives you an instance of HD which has more segments:

    ST universalID = facility.getHd2_UniversalID();

    Once you are down to a String (ST) data type, you can set a value:

    universalID.setValue("FooBar");
