8.4.1.0 MFI field definitions

8.4.1.1 Master file identifier (CE) 00658

Components: <identifier (ST)> ^ <text (ST)> ^ <name of coding system (ST)> ^ <alternate identifier (ST)> ^ <alternate text (ST)> ^ <name of alternate coding system (ST)>

Definition: This field is a CE data type that identifies a standard HL7 master file. This table may be extended by local agreement during implementation to cover site-specific master files (z-master files). Refer to HL7 table 0175 - Master file identifier code for valid values.

Description

CDM

Charge description master file

CMA

Clinical study with phases and scheduled master file

CMB

Clinical study without phases but with scheduled master file

LOC

Location master file

OMA

Numerical observation master file

OMB

Categorical observation master file

OMC

Observation batteries master file

OMD

Calculated observations master file

PRA

Practitioner master file

STF

Staff master file

8.4.1.2 Master files application identifier (HD) 00659

Components: <namespace ID (IS) ^ <universal ID (ST) ^ <universal ID type (ID)

Definition: This field contains an optional code of up to 180 characters which (if applicable) uniquely identifies the application responsible for maintaining this file at a particular site. A group of intercommunicating applications may use more than a single instance of a master file of certain type (e.g., charge master or physician master). The particular instance of the file is identified by this field.

8.4.1.3 File-level event code (ID) 00660

Definition: This field defines the file-level event code. Refer to HL7 table 0178 - File level event code for valid values.

Table 0178 - File level event code

Value

Description

REP

Replace current version of this master file with the version contained in this message

UPD

Change file records as defined in the record-level event codes for each record that follows

8.4.1.4 Entered date/time (TS) 00661

Definition: This field contains the time stamp for file-level event on originating system.

8.4.1.5 Effective date/time (TS) 00662

Definition: This optional field contains the effective date/time, which can be included for file-level action specified. It is the date/time the originating system expects that the event is to have been completed on the receiving system. If this field is not present, the action date/time should default to the current date/time (when the message is received).

8.4.1.6 Response level code (ID) 00663

Definition: These codes specify the application response level defined for a given Master File Message at the MFE segment level as defined in HL7 table 0179 - Response level. Required for MFN-Master File Notification message. Specifies additional detail (beyond MSH-15-accept acknowledgment type and MSH-16-application acknowledgment type) for application-level acknowledgment paradigms for Master Files transactions. MSH-15-accept acknowledgment and MSH-16-application acknowledgment type operate as defined in Chapter 2.

Table 0179 - Response level

Value

Description

NE

Never. No application-level response needed

ER

Error/Reject conditions only. Only MFA segments denoting errors must be returned via the application-level acknowledgment for this message

AL

Always. All MFA segments (whether denoting errors or not) must be returned via the application-level acknowledgment message

SU

Success. Only MFA segments denoting success must be returned via the application-level acknowledgment for this message
