OM1 segment

The Technical Steward for the OM1 segment is ORDERS. The OM1 segment contains the attributes that apply to the definition of most observations. This segment also contains the field attributes that specify what additional segments might also be defined for this observation.

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 OM1-2 and its value arrives as OM1-1, so the receiver stores Producer's Service/Test/Observation ID as Sequence Number - Test/Observation Master File.

This page carries the OM1 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 OM1.
