Hi,
It's more a question about HL7 than about HAPI : there is something=20
unclear with the XON datatype. In the spec, section A.3.2, and in HAPI,=20
XON is composed of an <ID Number (NM)>. However, elsewhere, in the=20
sections where this datatype is used, the third components becomes <ID=20
number (ID)>. See for instance the following excerpt (same thing at=20
3.3.5.13, 3.3.9.3, etc.).
* 3.3.4.23 Clinic organization name (XON) 00724*
Components: <organization name (ST)> ^ <organization name type code=20
(ID)> ^ <ID number (ID)> ^ <check digit (NM)> ^ < check digit scheme=20
(ID)> ^ <assigning authority (HD)> ^ <identifier type code (ID)> ^=20
<assigning facility (HD)> ^ <name representation code (ID)>
Subcomponents of assigning authority: <namespace ID (IS)> &=20
<universal ID (ST)> & <universal ID type (ID)>
Subcomponents of assigning facility: <namespace ID (IS)> &=20
<universal ID (ST)> & <universal ID type (ID)>
Definition: This field contains the organization name or sub-unit=20
and identifier that is associated with the (visit) episode of care. For=20
example, the Allergy or Oncology Clinic within the facility might be name=
d.
As my organization names are alphanumeric, I prefer the second=20
interpretation.
Any comment?
