OM6 segment

Segments The Technical Steward for the OM6 segment is ORDERS. This segment contains the information about quantities that are derived from one or more other quantities or direct observations by mathematical or logical means.

The shape of one line

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 OM6-2 and its value arrives as OM6-1, so the receiver stores Derivation Rule as Sequence Number - Test/Observation Master File.

This page carries the OM6 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 OM6.
