Sending Responsible Organization

2011-03-06
Definition: Business organization that originated and is accountable for the content of the message.

Currently, MSH provides fields to transmit both sending/receiving applications and facilities (MSH.3 - MSH.6). However, these levels of organization do not necessarily relate to or imply a legal entity such as a business organization. As such, multiple legal entities (organizations) may share a service bureau, with the same application and facility identifiers. Another level of detail is required to delineate the various organizations using the same service bureau.
