Responsible Observer
2014-03-17
Definition: Retained for backwards compatibility as of v 2.7 only. This field is now represented through the PRT segment. When required, this field contains the identifier of the individual directly responsible for the observation (i.e., the person who either performed or verified it). In a nursing service, the observer is usually the professional who performed the observation (e.g., took the blood pressure). In a laboratory, the observer is the technician who performed or verified the analysis. The code for the observer is recorded as a CWE data type. If the code is sent as a local code, it should be unique and unambiguous when combined with OBX-15-producer ID.
