  • 2: SFT (Software Segment) optional repeating
  • 3: EVN (Event Type)
  • 4: PID (Patient Identification)
  • 5: PD1 (Patient Additional Demographic) optional
  • 6: MRG (Merge Patient Information)
  • 7: PV1 (Patient Visit)

  • Method Details

    • getVersion

      public String getVersion()
      Returns "2.5.1"
      Specified by:
      getVersion in interface Message
      Overrides:
      getVersion in class AbstractMessage
    • getMSH

      public MSH getMSH()

      Returns MSH (Message Header) - creates it if necessary

    • getSFT

      public SFT getSFT()

      Returns the first repetition of SFT (Software Segment) - creates it if necessary

    • getSFT

      public SFT getSFT(int rep)

      Returns a specific repetition of SFT (Software Segment) - creates it if necessary

      Parameters:
      rep - The repetition index (0-indexed, i.e. the first repetition is at index 0)
      Throws:
      HL7Exception - if the repetition requested is more than one greater than the number of existing repetitions.
    • getSFTReps

      public int getSFTReps()

      Returns the number of existing repetitions of SFT

    • getSFTAll

      public List<SFT> getSFTAll() throws HL7Exception

      Returns a non-modifiable List containing all current existing repetitions of SFT.

      Note that unlike getSFT(), this method will not create any reps if none are already present, so an empty list may be returned.

      Throws:
      HL7Exception
    • insertSFT

      public void insertSFT(SFT structure, int rep) throws HL7Exception

      Inserts a specific repetition of SFT (Software Segment)

      Throws:
      HL7Exception
      See Also:
      • AbstractGroup#insertRepetition(Structure, int)
    • insertSFT

      public SFT insertSFT(int rep) throws HL7Exception

      Inserts a specific repetition of SFT (Software Segment)

      Throws:
      HL7Exception
      See Also:
      • AbstractGroup#insertRepetition(Structure, int)
    • removeSFT

      public SFT removeSFT(int rep) throws HL7Exception

      Removes a specific repetition of SFT (Software Segment)

      Throws:
      HL7Exception

      Returns PD1 (Patient Additional Demographic) - creates it if necessary

    • getMRG

      public MRG getMRG()

      Returns MRG (Merge Patient Information) - creates it if necessary

    • getPV1

      public PV1 getPV1()

      Returns PV1 (Patient Visit) - creates it if necessary
