ACC segment

The ACC segment contains patient information relative to an accident in which the patient has been involved. SEQ LEN DT OPT RP/# TBL# ITEM# ELEMENT NAME 1 26 TS O 00527 Accident Date/Time 2 250 CE O 0050 00528 Accident Code 3 25 ST O 00529 Accident Location

The shape of one line

optional kept for older systems, still counted

Count the pipes to find a field, and count the empty ones too: an empty field still holds its place. Leave out the separator before ACC-2 and its value arrives as ACC-1, so the receiver stores Accident Code as Accident Date/Time.

This page carries the ACC field table as published and nothing beyond it. The field notes, vendor behaviour, FHIR mapping and parsing guidance that thePID page has are still to be written for ACC.
