ADT^A46

ADT/ACK - Change external ID

Patient Administration
A change has been done at the external identifier level. That is, a PID-2-patient ID (external ID) has been found to be incorrect and has been changed.

An A46 event is used to signal a change of an incorrectly assigned external ID value. The "incorrect source external ID" value is stored in the MRG segment (MRG-4-prior patient ID-external) and is to be changed to the "correct target external ID" value stored in the PID segment (PID-2-patient ID-external).
