Shital Garad (May 10 2019 at 12:59):Hello All, I have a question about HL7 segment and field. If we want to send or receive Group Medical Practice information Inbound or outbound, in an ADT message, which Field is allotted for this?
David Pyke (May 11 2019 at 12:23):Can you be a little more specific? What about Group Medical Practice information are you interested in passing?
Shital Garad (May 16 2019 at 13:40):Group of doctors practice together at certain locations - when patient is admitted to a hospital and being treated by one of the doctors - we capture which group practice that doctor belongs to. I want to send this information outbound
David Pyke (May 16 2019 at 14:09):That's not a standard field. You will need to talk to the systems you will be exchanging information with and work out policy for this.
Shital Garad (May 16 2019 at 14:10):@David Pyke - So, we should go for Z segment - is that right?
David Pyke (May 16 2019 at 14:11):Possibly. However, that is a policy decision and needs to be made with all parties
Shital Garad (May 16 2019 at 14:12):right, that can be taken care - but before doing that, i was just confirming that there is no dedicated field in HL7 standard..
Shital Garad (May 16 2019 at 14:16):So, my take away from this conversation - HL7 standards do not have field to send "Group Practice Info" as of now... Thanks a lot David! :) this is helpful..
