OnBase uses chart data field mapping to extract patient and account information from HL7 messages. This mapping is configured at a system-wide level under Medical | Charts | Data Fields. To configure mapping at a template level, you must use chart field overrides.
For example, chart field overrides may be necessary if your system has multiple HL7 sending applications that place patient information in different message fields. Chart field overrides are also necessary if you are using a translation table to translate values before they are used for chart creation. When used with a translation table, the chart field override ensures that the translated value is used to apply the correct information to the chart. For more information about translation tables, see Translation Tables.
