ORR: General order response message response to any ORM

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

Recognising ORR messages

ORR announces itself in MSH-9 like this:

MSH-9ORR^O02^ORR_O02
  1. MSH-9.1ORRmessage code: what kind of message this is
  2. MSH-9.2O02trigger event: what happened in the real world: general order response message response to any orm
  3. MSH-9.3ORR_O02message 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

ORR takes 1 structure.

ORR_O02: general order response message response to any ORM

Sent when one thing happens: O02: general order response message response to any ORM.

You must always send: MSH, MSA. 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 4 such groups: RESPONSE, PATIENT, ORDER, CHOICE.
