# Getting test results into the GNUmed system

## Entering results manually

This is, as usual, done by means of an Edit Area.

- go to menu EMR / Observations / Add Measurements
- fill in the dialog
- fields labelled in red are required
- [Next] lets you enter the next value of the same type with minimun hassle
- phrasewheels provide online feedback from the backend

The same Edit Area is used when editing existing results

## Automated import

There will be various scripts to import external data. We are hoping to use Mirth Project for HL7 import with some of the groundwork here. There's a partially finished LDT importer available in the source tree.
