Ordering Provider

2007-05-08
Definition: This field contains the identity of the person who is responsible for creating the request (i.e., ordering physician).

ORC-12-ordering provider is the same as OBR-16-ordering provider. If the ordering provider is not present in the ORC, it must be present in the associated OBR. (This rule is the same for other identical fields in the ORC and OBR and promotes upward and ASTM compatibility.) This is particularly important when results are transmitted in an ORU message. In this case, the ORC is not required and the identifying filler order number must be present in the OBR segments.
