DSP segment

The DSP segment is used to contain data that has been preformatted by the sender for display. The semantic content of the data is lost; the data is simply treated as lines of text.

The shape of one line

required optional

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 DSP-3 and its value arrives as DSP-2, so the receiver stores Data Line as Display Level.

This page carries the DSP 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 DSP.
