Aliases options

The field segment database and the aliases database on the site level stores user-customized format definitions and aliases.

This tab lists all existing aliases for the current site.

Available options are Add Alias Item, Edit Alias Item, and Remove Alias Item.

You can add/edit/remove a site’s field segment definition through the existing HL7/HPRIM tool.

For HL7 2.7 and HPRIM variants, changes on segments and fields are synced to the field segment database in the site.

An alias is created to associate the segment.field number to a common name. For example:

  • PID.5.1 = Lastname
  • PID.3.1 = MRN
  • ORC.2.1 = Accession Number

A list of standard aliases is provided. You can also create and save custom aliases on this tab.
