Performing Organization Name
2014-11-02
Definition: Retained for backwards compatibility as of v 2.7 only. This field is now represented through the PRT segment. This field contains the name of the organization/service responsible for performing the service. When this field is null, the receiving system assumes that the observations were produced by the sending organization. The information for performing organization is recorded as an XON data type. In the US, the Medicare number of the performing organization is suggested as the identifier (component 10).
For lab, this field specifies the laboratory that produced the test result described in this OBX segment. It should be reported explicitly when the test results are produced at outside laboratories, for example. This information supports CLIA regulations in the US. For the US producing laboratories, which are CLIA certified, the CLIA identifier should be used for the organization identifier (component 10).
