Sending Facility
2020-01-06
Definition: This field further describes the sending application, MSH-3 Sending Application. With the promotion of this field to an HD data type, the usage has been broadened to include not just the sending facility but other organizational entities such as a) the organizational entity responsible for sending application; b) the responsible unit; c) a product or vendor's identifier, etc. Entirely site-defined. User-defined Table 0362 - Facility in Chapter 2C, Code Tables, is used as the HL7 identifier for the user-defined table of values for the first component.
Note: By site agreement, implementers MAY continue to use User-defined Table 0300 – Namespace ID in Chapter 2C, Code Tables, for the first component.
