This tab displays patient demographic and clinical data. It contains three subtabs:

Subtab	Field	Description
Patient		Displays patient demographic information. These data are used for identification of the patient within the Business Unit. Two of the fields which are set as first and second identifiers are required. The identifiers are set in Administration>Configuration>HL7>General.
Patient's Discrete Data Header		Displays the general information on all the clinical data included in the message. This subtab contains the following fields:
	Entity Identifier	This field is not processed with the current logic.
	Service Identifier	This field is not processed with the current logic.
	Sending Facility Name	Displays the name of the facility which sent the message.
	Vendor Note ID	Displays the unique identification number for the note. It is used only for note update ORU R01 messages. The system uses this field to check whether this note is present in the database or whether it is new (see the description of the Note Update Indicator field below).
	Note Update Indicator	Indicates whether this is a new insert of the note or update. If this is a new insert, this field should be blank and the Vendor Note Id field should contain the indicator not registered in the Netsmart Homecare database. The note then will be stored and can be accessed further from the application windows. If the system identifies that such indicator already exists in the database, the warning appears and the message will not be completed. If this is an update of the existed note, this field should have the U value and the Vendor Note Id field should contain the indicator already registered in the Netsmart Homecare database. The note then will be updated and can be accessed further from the application windows. If the system identifies that such indicator is absent in the database, the warning appears and the message will not be completed.
	Notes	Displays the content of the patient's clinical data header note.
Patient's Discrete Data		Displays the content of separate readings within the message.
	Data Point	The name of the clinical parameter. This can be one of the vital signs, for example, a blood pressure or a temperature.
	Units	The units of measure of the clinical parameter.
	Value	The value of the clinical parameter.
	Range	The value range which is considered to be normal for the certain clinical parameter.
	Notes	The note assigned to the certain clinical parameter.
