If any values in the data stream are missing, the instances of the Multi-Instance Keywords are created as expected and only the missing data is excluded.
For example:
When processing an import file, the EDI 837 processor identifies the following values in the EDI data stream:
John, Adams, Dwight, David, Eisenhower
Note in the sample data above, the Patient Middle Name value is missing for the John Quincy Adams patient data.
Based on the configuration of the Multi-Instance Keyword Type Group, two instances are created:
|
Instance 1 |
Instance 2 |
|
|---|---|---|
| Patient First Name | John | Dwight |
| Patient Middle Name | David | |
| Patient Last Name | Adams | Eisenhower |
