Note: The abstract message definitions for both the REF and RRI include the patient visit segments (PV1 and PV2). The PV1 and PV2 segments appear in the REF as an optional grouping to specify the visit or encounter that generated the referral. The PV1 and PV2 should not be used to provide suggested information for a future encounter or visit generated by the referral. |
The PV1 and PV2 are also included in the RRI message definition. It should be noted that these segments do not merely mirror the segments in the originating REF message. Rather, they may contain information regarding the visit or encounter that resulted from the referral.
