7.3 SEGMENTS

The full definitions of many segments required for reporting clinical observations are included in other chapters. The patient identifying segment (PID) is provided in Chapter 3. The NTE segment is in Chapter 2. We include a section on OBR in this chapter, but it includes only a brief description and a table listing the fields. This is included for the convenience of the reader. The full definition of the OBR segment is given in Chapter 4, Section 4.5.1, "OBR - observation request segment."
