Name Description
Receiving Facility A user-dened value that further identies the receiving application among
multiple identical instances of the application running on behalf of dierent
organizations. The default value is Sun HL7 adapter.
This is the sixth eld in the HL7 MSH segment (MSH-06).
Security The implemented application level security features.
This is the eighth eld in the HL7 MSH segment (MSH-08).
Processing ID The sub-component processing ID of the MSH-11 eld. MSH-11 is used to

■
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,

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 eld 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.
