CSU: Unsolicited study data message

This page lists the structures and trigger events CSU defines, taken from the standard. The written commentary that theADT page carries has not been written for CSU.

Recognising CSU messages

CSU announces itself in MSH-9 like this:

MSH-9CSU^C09^CSU_C09
  1. MSH-9.1CSUmessage code: what kind of message this is
  2. MSH-9.2C09trigger event: what happened in the real world
  3. MSH-9.3CSU_C09message structure: which segments to expect, and in what order

How to use these specifications explains MSH-9 in full, with a worked example.

Message structures

CSU takes 1 structure.

CSU_C09

No trigger event in the standard names this structure.

You must always send: MSH, PID, CSR, OBR, OBX, RXA, RXR. Everything else is optional, or required only inside a group you chose to send.

R inside a group means required of that group. Send the group and you must include that segment; leave the group out and it never appears. This structure has 8 such groups: PATIENT, VISIT, STUDY_PHASE, STUDY_SCHEDULE, STUDY_OBSERVATION, TIMING_QTY, STUDY_PHARM, RX_ADMIN.

Trigger events

The trigger event is the real-world thing that made the message get sent. CSU defines 0.
