IPC segment

The IPC segment contains information about tasks that need to be performed in order to fulfill the request for imaging service. The information includes location, type and instance identification of equipment (acquisition modality) and stages (procedure steps).

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 IPC-2 and its value arrives as IPC-1, so the receiver stores Requested Procedure ID as Accession Identifier.

This page carries the IPC 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 IPC.
