DB1 segment

The disability segment contains information related to the disability of a person. This segment was created instead of adding disability attributes to each segment that contains a person (to which disability may ap- ply). This is an optional segment that can be used to send disability information about a person already de- fined by the Patient Administration Chapter. The disabled person code and identifier allow for the associa- tion of the disability information to the person. 3.4.11.0 DB1 field definitions

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 DB1-3 and its value arrives as DB1-2, so the receiver stores Disabled Person Identifier as Disabled Person Code.

This page carries the DB1 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 DB1.
