Privileges

2003-08-22
Definition: This field contains the institutional privileges which this provider may exercise. Depends upon institutional 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; (4) privilege activation date, if any, and (5) facility. 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 (^). The facility component is an EI data type specifying the facility to which the privilege applies and is encoded with the subcomponent delimiter (&) rather than the component delimiter (^). The facility component is an EI data type specifying the facility to which the privilege applies and is encoded with the subcomponent delimiter (&) rather than the component delimiter (^).
