Nature of Abnormal Test
2014-03-17
Definition: This field contains the nature of the abnormal test. Refer to HL7 Table 0080 - Nature of abnormal testing for valid values. As many of the codes as apply may be included, separated by repeat delimiters. For example, normal values based on age, sex, and race would be codes as "A~S~R".
The constraints on the use of the codes in this table must be consistent with those defined in the PID segment, specifically PID-35-Species Code, PID-36-Breed Code and PID-37-Strain.
