The Medical Records Chart and Patient Record Processor message actions uniquely identify confidentiality codes based on both their HL7 code and assigning authority. For a confidentiality code to be applied automatically by one of these message actions, the values provided in the HL7 message must match the HL7 code and assigning authority configured for the confidentiality code.
The assigning authority is the value located in the third component of the HL7 field containing the Confidentiality Code value. This location is not configurable. If a value is provided in this location, it will be used as the assigning authority for the specified confidentiality code.
