This page is a guide to the changes made to the structure of the OpenLDR after the initial release.
Note: Many implementations have been updating the size of text columns and they have not been logged as changes to the main specification. If any LDR managers make changes please forward those changes because in most cases other implementations will also find those helpful.
December 2017 - Minor changes
Created a table in both OpenLDRData and OpenLDRDict to store which scripts have been run to update the database. Not strictly necessary for each implementation but a good idea and one that could be expanded if someone wants to take the lead and design a more detailed and enhanced version of this functionality.
Add new SpecimenID column to Requests table.
Update the size of the EncryptedPatientID table to 64 characters
14a-Create_AdminScriptRunTables.sql
14b-Add SpecimenID and update EncryptedPatientID size.sql
June 2018 - Facility and Laboratory Identification Changes
This is a major version revision and a separate page describes the changes and that page will also have the database update scripts attached.
