HL7 v2 data types

Every field in an HL7 message has a data type, and it settles one question: does this field hold a single value, or several values packed together?

The two kinds

A primitive holds one value. A date of birth is a date; a haemoglobin result is a number. The field holds it as it stands, and there is nothing to split.

19510822

PID-7, a date of birth. Data type DT.

A composite holds several values that belong together, separated by a caret. A name is a family name and a given name and a suffix, and each of those parts is itself a primitive.

CARTWRIGHT^ELEANOR^MAY^^^^L

PID-5, a patient name. Data type XPN. Four of its fourteen components are filled in: family name, given name, middle name, and the code that says this is her legal name.

That is the whole of it. There are 90 data types, 12primitive and 78 composite. Every composite is built, eventually, out of the primitives below.

Primitives

12 of them, and these 8 cover almost everything you will read. Open one to see what it holds.

DTDateholds one value

A date with no time, written as YYYYMMDD. Shorter forms are legal: a year alone, or a year and month.

19510822

22 August 1951

A four- or six-character value is valid. Code that assumes eight characters breaks on a patient who only knows their year of birth.

DT is a primitive: one value, no internal structure, nothing to split on. The standard states a maximum length of 8 and calls the value Date.

Where you meet it:

IN1-12the date a policy takes effect

IDcoded value for HL7 defined tablesholds one value

A short code from a list the standard fixes. An HL7 table sits behind it, and a value outside that list is an error.

F

final, as a result status in OBX-11

ID and IS look identical in a message. The difference is who owns the list, and it decides whether an unrecognised code is a bug or a local extension.

ID is a primitive: one value, no internal structure, nothing to split on. The standard states a maximum length of no stated limit and calls the value coded value for HL7 defined tables.

Where you meet it:

OBX-11result status, from table 0085
MSH-15accept acknowledgment type, from table 0155

IScoded value for user-defined tablesholds one value

A short code from a list the standard only suggests. A user-defined table sits behind it, and a site is free to use its own values.

MED

the medical service, in PV1-10

A validator that rejects codes outside the published list will reject real, conformant traffic. Suggested means suggested.

IS is a primitive: one value, no internal structure, nothing to split on. The standard states a maximum length of no stated limit and calls the value coded value for user-defined tables.

Where you meet it:

PID-8administrative sex, from table 0001
PV1-10hospital service, from table 0069

NMNumericholds one value

A number, written as digits with an optional sign and decimal point. No units and no thousands separators.

11.8

a haemoglobin result

The units live in a different field. A number stored without OBX-6 beside it cannot be interpreted: 11.8 g/dL and 11.8 g/L are not the same measurement.

NM is a primitive: one value, no internal structure, nothing to split on. The standard states a maximum length of 16 and calls the value Numeric.

Where you meet it:

OBX-5a numeric result, when OBX-2 says NM

SISequence IDholds one value

A small positive number that counts repeating segments within one message. It is a position, not an identifier.

1

the first OBX under this OBR

It restarts. OBX-1 counts from 1 again under each OBR, so it is unique within a group and not within the message.

SI is a primitive: one value, no internal structure, nothing to split on. The standard states a maximum length of 4 and calls the value Sequence ID.

Where you meet it:

PID-1numbers the patients in a multi-patient message
OBX-1numbers the results under one order

STString Dataholds one value

A short piece of text, used as it stands. No internal structure, nothing to split on, up to 199 characters.

MSG00017

a message control ID, which is just a string

A delimiter inside the text arrives escaped. A value of O\S\Brien is one name containing an apostrophe, not two components.

ST is a primitive: one value, no internal structure, nothing to split on. The standard states a maximum length of 199 and calls the value String Data.

Where you meet it:

MSH-10the message control ID
CX.1the identifier itself, inside a patient ID

TMTimeholds one value

A time of day with no date, written as HHMM, optionally to the second and fraction, optionally with a timezone offset.

0930

half past nine in the morning

TM is a primitive: one value, no internal structure, nothing to split on. The standard states a maximum length of 16 and calls the value Time.

Where you meet it:

TQ1-8the end time of a repeating order

TXText Dataholds one value

Text meant for a person to read, long enough to hold a paragraph. ST holds a label; TX holds a sentence.

Mild anaemia with leukocytosis

a comment on a lab result

A long report arrives as several repetitions or several OBX segments, each one a line. Joining them without a line break runs the whole report together.

TX is a primitive: one value, no internal structure, nothing to split on. The standard states a maximum length of no stated limit and calls the value Text Data.

Where you meet it:

OBX-5a narrative result, when OBX-2 says TX

DTMDate/Timeholds one value

Date/Time

DTM is a primitive: one value, no internal structure, nothing to split on. The standard states a maximum length of 24 and calls the value Date/Time.

FTFormatted Text Dataholds one value

Formatted Text Data

FT is a primitive: one value, no internal structure, nothing to split on. The standard states a maximum length of 65536 and calls the value Coded Value for HL7-Defined Tables.

GTSGeneral Timing Specificationholds one value

General Timing Specification

GTS is a primitive: one value, no internal structure, nothing to split on. The standard states a maximum length of 199 and calls the value General Timing Specification.

variesvariesholds one value

Composites

78 of them, which is where the caret comes from. These 10 are the ones you meet in an ordinary message.

CECoded Elementcomponents 6

A code plus the name of the thing it codes plus which coding system it came from. Then optionally the same three again, from a second system.

718-7^HEMOGLOBIN^LN

LOINC code 718-7, which is haemoglobin

The three components after the first three are a second coding of the same concept, usually the sending system's local code. Both are worth keeping: one for interoperability, one for reconciling against the sender.

CXExtended Composite ID with Check Digitcomponents 10

An identifier plus who issued it. That second part is what makes it meaningful, because an identifier on its own is only unique within the organisation that assigned it.

1000345678^^^STJOSEPH^MR

medical record number 1000345678, issued by St Joseph

Matching on the identifier alone merges patients. Two hospitals will both issue an MRN of 1000345678 and they are not the same person; the assigning authority in component 4 is what tells them apart.

The name of a system, organisation or namespace. It is what "who issued this" looks like when written down.

STJOSEPH

the sending facility, by local name

It can be a local name, or a universal ID with its type, or both. A sender using only the universal ID and a receiver reading only the local name will never match.

The three parts of MSH-9: what kind of message this is, what happened to cause it, and which layout to expect.

ADT^A01^ADT_A01

an ADT message, triggered by an admit, laid out as ADT_A01

The third component became required in v2.4. Older senders leave it empty, so code that dispatches on it alone drops every message from an older system.

Where a patient is, as a hierarchy: the ward, then the room, then the bed, then the facility.

3W^312^A^STJOSEPH

bed A, room 312, on ward 3 West at St Joseph

Sites fill this in inconsistently, and a common local habit is to put the whole location in component 1 and leave the rest empty. Read all four components and reassemble; parsing component 1 as free text will work at one site and fail at the next.

TSTime Stampcomponents 2

A point in time: a date, then as much of the time as is known, then an optional offset from UTC. The precision is part of the value.

20240314093015

14 March 2024 at 09:30:15, with no timezone stated

No offset does not mean UTC. It means the sender did not say, and the receiver has to know the sending system's timezone from somewhere else.

The field repeats and the type code is in component 7. Taking the first repetition gets the mailing address instead of the home one often enough to matter.
