ADT^A46
ADT/ACK - Change Patient ID
Patient Administration
Event A46 has been retained for backward compatibility only, corresponding with PID-2 - patient ID, which is also retained for backward compatibility. From V2.3.1 onwards, event A47 (change patient identifier list) should be used instead. A change has been done at the patient identifier level. That is, a PID-2 - patient ID has been found to be incorrect and has been changed.
An A46 event is used to signal a change of an incorrectly assigned PID-2 - patient ID value. The "incorrect source patient ID" value is stored in the MRG segment (MRG-4 - prior patient ID) and is to be changed to the "correct target patient ID" value stored in the PID segment (PID-2 - patient ID).
