Hello @MahaMH
Adding the medical tests you want requires configuring OpenEMRā€™s Procedures module. Donā€™t know about APIs for this, but this wiki page tell how to add any arbitrary individual test(s), after setting up Procedures. And the page has links to the tutorials that describe that process.

https://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Add_Covid-19_or_any_other_single_test_to_OpenEMR_Procedures

ā€˜Hospital Proceduresā€™ requires some explanation, however. Can you give an example of their use and function in your clinical setting?

Hi @MahaMH
Hereā€™s another wiki page that re-states the config steps at the top of the page for a slightly different use case. The link takes you straight to the section on how to use a procedure and assign it to an encounter.

Note, though, that if you do not have procedures properly configured some features in the interface that are needed to use them, will not appear-- for example, the encounter menu ā€˜Procedure Ordersā€™ item.

And of course, since the docs are for OpenEMR v4.x the interface controls will look different after OpenEMR v6, but should still be recognizable.

Good luck!
