|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| .01 | header piece | 0;1 | NUMERIC | B | This is the number for this piece (item) of the header. Start with number 1 for the first piece. | |
| .02 | item name | 0;2 | FREE TEXT | C | This is the name of the item in the ASCII message header. Item Name is used in help messages for the person dictating a document. | |
| .03 | field number | 0;3 | FREE TEXT | D | This is the field number in the target file which corresponds to this header item. | |
| .04 | lookup local variable name | 0;4 | FREE TEXT | E | This field specifies the local variable name into which this piece of the message header will be set. The local variable is used by the Look-Up Method. For example, if this piece of the header is the patient social security number, the Lookup Local Variable Name might be TIUSSN. The social security number as written by the transcriptionist is first transformed by any existing Transform Code, and then set into this variable (e.g. TIUSSN) for use in Look-Up Method code. Lookup Local Variable Name is necessary only if the information in this piece is required in order to look up the appropriate entry in the target file. | |
| .05 | example entry | 0;5 | FREE TEXT | This field is used to store sample data for this item in the form the transcriptionist is expected to use when transcribing it. For example, if a patient has Social Security Number 555-12-1212, and the transcriptionist is expected to write 555-12-1212, then an Example Entry should have the form 555-12-1212. The Transform Code, if it exists, then transforms the transcribed Social Security Number 555-12-1212 into the appropriate format for the target file before using the Social Security Number to look-up the appropriate target file entry and/or before entering it in the target file. | ||
| .06 | clinician must dictate | 0;6 | BOOLEAN | 1:YES 0:NO | States whether or not this piece of the header should be dictated by the Clinician. Will be used by the Clinician Help routine to determine if this field should be shown as data that should be dictated. (Some pieces can be entered by the transcriber without being dictated, such as the transcriber identification). | |
| .07 | required field? | 0;7 | BOOLEAN | 1:YES 0:NO | This field is used to determine whether a given header piece is required by the application (e.g., Author and Attending Physician may be required for the ongoing processing of a Discharge Summary). Records lacking required fields WILL be entered if possible into the target file but will generate Missing Field Error Alerts. | |
| 1 | transform code | 1;E1,245 | FREE TEXT | This standard MUMPS code transforms the transcribed value of the header piece into a format acceptable to FileMan (e.g., patient social security number 555-12-1212 must be transformed to 555121212 or to whatever (external) format FileMan accepts when a user edits the social security number field in the target file). Field values are transformed before being set into Special Lookup Variables and before being set into Target Text File Fields. Field is necessary only if transcribed piece is not in the format Fileman accepts for the target file. |
