RXE segment

The RXE segment details the pharmacy or treatment application's encoding of the order. It also contains several pharmacy-specific order status fields, such as RXE-16-number of refills remaining, RXE-17-number of refills/doses dispensed, RXE-18-D/T of most recent refill or dose dispensed, and RXE-19-total daily dose. Note that ORC-7-quantity/timing has a different meaning from RXE-1-quantity/timing and RXG-3- quantity/timing. The pharmacy or treatment department has the "authority" (and/or necessity) to schedule dispense/give events. Hence, the pharmacy or treatment department has the responsibility to encode this

required required in some cases optional kept for older systems, still counted

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 RXE-3 and its value arrives as RXE-2, so the receiver stores Give Amount - Minimum as Give Code.

This page carries the RXE 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 RXE.
