TABLE 12 Connectivity Map - HL7 MSH Segment (Continued)
Name Description
Processing ID The subcomponent processing ID of the MSH-11 field. MSH-11 is used to
indicate whether a message is processed as defined in the HL7 Application
processing rules.
Specify one of the following options:
■ D - The message is part of a debugging system.
■ P - The message is part of a production system.
■ T - The message is part of a training system.
In some cases there may be an additional value, the processing mode,
following the initial value. This value can be A (archive), R (restore from
archive), or I (initial load).
Version ID The HL7 version as displayed in HL7 Table 0104 - Version ID. This value is
matched by the receiving system to its own version to ensure that messages are
interpreted correctly. The default value is 2.5.
This is the 12th field in the HL7 MSH segment (MSH-12).
Country Code A code that indicates the country of origin for the message (see HL7 Table 0399).
Use the 3-character (alphabetic) form of ISO 3166. This value is used to specify
default elements in a message, such as currency. The default value is USA.
This is the 17th field in the HL7 MSH segment (MSH-17).
Character Set The character set(s) used by the messages (see HL7 Table 0211). If the field is left
blank, the character set is assumed to be the 7-bit ASCII set. The default value is
8859/1
(printable 7-bit ASCII character set).
This is the 18th field in the HL7 MSH segment (MSH-18).
Principal Language of
Message The 2-character ISO 639 alphabetic code that specifies the principal language of
the message.
This is the 19th field in the HL7 MSH segment (MSH-19).
Alternate Character Set
Handling Scheme The value for the alternate character set handling scheme to be used when any
alternative character sets are used and a special handling scheme is necessary (see
HL7 Table 0356). Possible values are ISO 2022-1994, 2.3, or (blank).
Leaving the field blank indicates that no character set switching will occur.
This is the 20th field in the HL7 MSH segment (MSH-20).
Conformance Statement
ID A unique identifier that applies to a query’s conformance statement. It can also be
used as a Message Profile Identifier to assert constancy with a message profile
(grammar, syntax, usage, and so on).
This is the 21st field in the HL7 MSH segment (MSH-21).
