The Appointment Processor can assign and remove resources1 for existing appointments. By default, if an HL7 message specifies a resource that is not already assigned to the specified appointment, the Appointment Processor will assign it.
To change how the Appointment Processor handles resource information, use the Processing Code 2 chart data field. The Processing Code chart data field must be mapped as a chart field override in the same segment containing the resource you want to assign or remove.
Supported processing codes are described in the following table:
|
Processing Code |
Description |
|---|---|
|
AJ |
Assigns the specified resource to an appointment if it not already assigned. If the specified resource is already assigned to the appointment, it will not be assigned again. This is the default action if no processing code is specified. |
|
CA |
Assigns the specified resource to an appointment, even if it is already assigned. This duplication allows specific resources to be removed and reassigned using the same message. |
|
CR |
Removes the specified resource from an appointment. |
