Below are all of the segments that a DDS Publisher using the HL7 API can send. The definitions below are generic and hence are relatively permissive. In the context of a specific message the segment various segment definitions may be refined to take account of the data needed to complete the business function associated with the message. More detail can be found on the [[Publisher API HL7 Messages|HL7 API messages page]]

== Coded fields ==
Note that currently only a subset of the coded fields that are specified in the segments below are interpreted by DDS (see below). The remainder are left as-is once ingested in to DDS are are not processed further. In this latter case it is recommended that publishers take note of the suggested code sets as in the future it might be that these fields are interpreted by DDS and therefore a mapping exercise will need to be undertaken to map from publisher local codes to a core DDS code set.

|This field is used by DDS as the identifier for the episode of care if the PV1.19 field is not populated. If the PV1.19 field is populated then PID:18 may be locally repurposed (eg. at NWL it is used to supply HIE with the FIN number for de-duplication of Millennium sourced visits) An episode of care encapsulates all of the encounters that a patient has with a healthcare organisation from the point of referral to the point of discharge. If no PV1 segment accompanies this PID segment then PID:18 should not be populated

Introduction

Below are all of the segments that a DDS Publisher using the HL7 API can send. The definitions below are generic and hence are relatively permissive. In the context of a specific message the segment various segment definitions may be refined to take account of the data needed to complete the business function associated with the message. More detail can be found on the HL7 API messages page

Coded fields

Note that currently only a subset of the coded fields that are specified in the segments below are interpreted by DDS (see below). The remainder are left as-is once ingested in to DDS are are not processed further. In this latter case it is recommended that publishers take note of the suggested code sets as in the future it might be that these fields are interpreted by DDS and therefore a mapping exercise will need to be undertaken to map from publisher local codes to a core DDS code set.

  • Primary Language - PID:15
  • Religion - PID:17
  • Ethnic Group - PID:22
  • Admission Type -  PV1:4
  • Hospital Service - PV1:10
  • Admit Source - PV1:14
  • Patient Type - PV1:18
  • Discharge Disposition - PV1:36
  • Discharged to Location - PV1:37

MSA - Message acknowledgement

Overview

The MSA segment contains information sent whilst acknowledging an inbound message. The following rules govern the nature of the acknowledgement -

  • If the message could not be saved to the DDS message store then an AR (failure occurred, retry) acknowledgement code is returned.
  • If the message is malformed, or fails sender, recipient or message type checks, or is missing a message control ID, or fails for an unexpected reason, an AE (failure occurred, move to next message) acknowledgement code is returned.
  • If the message passes the above checks and is saved to the message store, an AA (success) acknowledgement code is returned.
  • If the message receiver fails to send an acknowledgement (e.g. network outage, hardware failure etc), it is expected the sender will automatically re attempt to send the message.

Definition

Field Component Data Type Optionality Repeating Description Example
MSA:1 - Acknowledgement code MSH:1.1 ID R N Message type. Allowed values are from table DDS-HL7v2-AckCode
MSA:2 - Message control ID MSH:1.1 ST R N Unique (to DDS) identifier assigned by DDS
MSA:3 - Text message MSA:3.1 ST O N Further describes an error condition (may not always be provided by DDS)

MSH - Message Header

Overview

The MSH segment defines the intent, source, destination, and some specifics of the syntax of a message

Code Meanings

code meaning
O optional
R required
TS time stamp
ST string
CX extended composite id with check digit
N no repeats
R multiple repeats

Definition

Field Component Data Type Optionality Repeating Description Example
MSH.1 - Field Separator MSH:1.1 ST R N Defines the character to be used as the separator in the message
MSH.2 - Encoding characters MSH:2.1 ST R N Contains (in the following order) component separator, repetition separator, escape character, and subcomponent separator
MSH:3 - Sending application MSH:3.1 ST R N Sending application name
MSH:4 - Sending facility MSH:4.1 ST R N Sending facility name
MSH:5 - Receiving application MSH:5.1 ST R N Receiving application name
MSH:6 - Receiving facility MSH:6.1 ST R N Receiving facility name
MSH:7 - Message timestamp MSH:7.1 DT R N Datetime that the sending system created the message
MSH:9 - Message type - - R N
MSH:9.1 ID R N Message type. Values SHOULD be from table DDS-HL7v2-MessageType
MSH:9.2 ID R N Trigger event. Values SHOULD be from table DDS-HL7v2-EventType
MSH:10 - Message control ID. MSH:10.1 ST R N This must be unique for all messages sent to DDS by each publisher. However, DDS does not currently detect or reject duplicate messages based on this value, so it is important that each publisher enforces this themselves.
MSH:11 - Processing ID MSH:11.1 PT O N In production MUST be "P"
MSH:12 - Message version MSH:12.1 ID R N The version of HL7 that this message conforms to. MUST be "2.3"

EVN - Event Type

Overview

The EVN segment is used to communicate trigger event information to receiving applications

Definition

Field Component Data Type Optionality Repeating Description Example
EVN:1 - Event Type Code EVN:1.1 ID O N The value should be the same as theMSH:9.2 (trigger event)
EVN:2 - Recorded Date/Time EVN:2.1 TS R N Timestamp of when the transaction was entered
EVN:3 - Date/Time planned event EVN:3.1 TS O N Avoid populating this field. Instead use PV2 expected admit date and PV2 expected discharge date whenever possible.
EVN:4 - Event reason code EVN:4.1 CWE O N The reason for this event. Allowed values are from table 0062-EventReason
EVN:5 - Operator ID - - O N Operator ID. If provided, at least the family name must be given.
EVN:5.2 ST R N Family Name

EVN:5.4 ST O N Middle Names
EVN:5.6 ST O N Prefix
EVN:6 - Event occured EVN:6.1 TS R N This field contains the date/time that the event actually occurred. For example, on a transfer (A02 (transfer a patient)), this field must contain the date/time the patient was actually transferred. On a cancellation event, this field should contain the date/time that the event being cancelled occurred.

PID - Patient Identification

Overview

The PID segment is used as the main way of communicating patient identification information. The majority of patient identifying and demographic information held within the PID segment is not subject to frequent changes

At the time of writing the acceptable code systems are still being defined though there is an aspiration to adopt the National Unified Test List where appropriate. Note that this does not exclude the adoption of more appropriate code systems depending upon the nature of the observation
OBX:3.2 ST O N Test Name
OBX:3.3 ST C N Test coding system. If this is a textual report, this value will be overridden by OBR:4.3.
OBX:5 - Observation Value OBX:5.1 VARIES R N Value. Type MUST match OBX:2.1
OBX:6 - Observation Units - - O N
OBX:6.1 ST R N Unit ID
OBX:6.2 ST O N Unit Name
OBX:6.3 ST R N Unit coding system
OBX:7 OBX:7.1 ST O N Reference range. Can be used to convey low value, high value and normal value. DDS will parse the data into one or more of these categories depending upon how the reference range value is formatted
  • [low value]"-"[high value]
  • "<"[Number] (i.e. "less than number")
  • ">"[Number] (i.e. "greater than number")
  • "<="[Number] (i.e. "less than or equal to number")
  • ">="[Number] (i.e. "greater than or equal to number")
  • [Alphabetic value indicating normal value]
 See table below for examples
OBX:8 - Abnormal flag - - C N To flag the result as abnormal (e.g., High, Low) this flag MUST be sent in the message
OBX:8.1 R N Flag ID - Values SHOULD be from table http://terminology.hl7.org/ValueSet/v3-ObservationInterpretation
OBX:8.2 O Flag name
OBX:8.3 O N Flag coding system - If present then SHOULD be "http://terminology.hl7.org/ValueSet/v3-ObservationInterpretation"
OBX:11 ST O N Result status Result status. Only values of F and C will be processed. Values of I, O, P or X (which indicate pending or no results) are silently ignored, whilst any other values will cause an error. Values SHOULD be from table DDS-ResultStatus
OBX:13 ST O N Custom access rules Custom access rules for lab results. Currently supported: "{patientDelay:NUMBERdays}" with any whole number in place of "NUMBER" (no spaces). The patient will see that a lab result has arrived, but the result value will not be revealed until the set number of days past the date/time of observation have passed. If this field is not specified the patient will be able to see their results immediately. Note: if this OBR group is a textual report spanning multiple OBX segments, the delay must be provided in the first. {patientDelay:3days}
OBX:14 ST C N Date/Time of the Observation Observation timestamp. If this is not present, OBR:7 is used instead. It is an error for neither to be provided.
OBX:16 - Responsible Observer O N If provided, at least the family name must be given.
OBX:16.2 ST R N Family Name
OBX:16.3 ST O N Given Name
OBX:16.4 ST O N Middle Names
OBX:16.6 ST O N Prefix
