Introduction

This document describes the technical specifications of the ZorgDomein HL7 V2.5.1 OML (LFDv2) message. This message is used for sending diagnostic requests.

The subsequent sections describe the contents of these segments. The abbreviation ‘Elem.nr’ denotes the element number. Options of a specific field within a segment implies that multiple options can be supplied by repeating the field. Exception: OBR-4, where multiple options can be supplied by repeating the segment. In any case, all available options will be supplied in the message.

ZorgDomein adheres to the message structure and the required fields as specified in the international HL7 V2.5.1 specifications.

In this document, the term ‘acting referrer’ describes the person that used ZorgDomein and actually referred the patient. The term ‘responsible referrer’ describes the person that is responsible for that referral. The two often relate to the same person.

If the ZorgDomein content consists of a value between two double quotes, that value is the fixed value of that specific element.
