If the HL7 message specifies multiple MRNs using a repeating field, the HL7 Listener uses the following conditions to determine the correct MRN for the chart:
The following flowchart illustrates these conditions and their effects on MRN assignment:
Tip:
To ensure the correct MRN is assigned to a chart, configure a filter on the MRN's chart data field. Filters allow the Medical Records Chart processor to determine the appropriate MRN when the HL7 field repeats. However, filters are not applied if the MRN field is configured as a chart field override in the HL7 message template.
