Inquiry about Integrating SPM into ORM_O01 on HL7 v2.5

[gmehmeti]

I am currently working on a project that involves the integration of laboratory data, and it has become necessary to include specimen-related information within the ORM_O01 message (I am using .Net C#).
However, I am relatively new to this specific aspect of HL7 v2.5 and could use some assistance in understanding the steps and best practices for achieving this integration.

Thank you

hi @gmehmeti have a look at these tutorials:

you can add non-standard segments sure.

var ormMessage = new ORM_O01();

ormMessage.AddNonstandardSegment("SPM");
var spm = ormMessage.GetStructure("SPM");

// add stuff to spm

[gmehmeti]

But to spm variable, I dont have any method to add field?

[milkshakeuk]

var ormMessage = new ORM_O01();

ormMessage.AddNonstandardSegment("SPM");
var spm = ormMessage.GetStructure("SPM") as SPM;

// add stuff to spm

how about now?

@milkshakeuk sorry for interrupt you again, it is possible to add multiple SPM as non standard segment. So for each OBR one or more SPM!?
