8.6.1 MFN/MFK - staff/practitioner master file message

The staff (STF) and practitioner (PRA) segments can be used to transmit master files information between systems. The STF segment provides general information about personnel; the PRA segment provides detailed information for a staff member who is also a health practitioner. Other segments may be defined to follow the STF segment to provide additional detail information for a particular type of staff member: the PRA segment is the first such segment. When the STF and PRA segments are used in an MFN message, the abstract definition is as follows:
