Value Type
2017-09-22
Definition: This field defines the data type of OBX-5, Observation Value. This field is required if OBX-11-Observ result status is not valued with an "X". See HL7 Table 0125 - Value Types for valid values.
For example, if the value is 'CWE' then the result in OBX-5 must be a coded entry or text or both. As of v 2.7, the ST data type may not be used to transmit data that can be more precisely transmitted using other data types, e.g. SN when comparative symbols are needed.
