Privileges

Definition: institutional priveleges which this provider may exercise. Depends upon insitutional needs. For example, admit, transfer, discharge, place orders, verify orders, review results, etc. Can also be used for privileges other than patient services. This is a repeating field, with each privilege made up of the following components: (1) privilege; (2) privilege class; (3) privilege expiration date, if any; and (4) privilege activation date, if any. Note that the privilege and privilege class components are CE data types, and thus they are encoded with the subcomponent delimiter (&) rather than the component delimiter (^).
