 2.  INC000000814498 - Outpatient Pharmacy - HL7 Interface Issue
  
   Problem:
   --------
   Outpatient Pharmacy Technical Manual needs PID-11 documentation updated.
  
   Resolution:
   -----------
   Update page 59 of the Outpatient Pharmacy V.7.0  Technical Manual/
   Security Guide to insert the following note regarding PID-11 Patient
   Address:
  
   [PID-11] Patient Address
   ------------------------
   The PID-11 segment contains the following data:
      -  Patient Permanent Address       1st up-arrow piece
      -  Patient Place of Birth (City & State)   2nd up-arrow piece
      -  Patient Temporary Address       3rd up-arrow piece 
  
   PID||||Permanent Address^Place of Birth^Temporary Address||||
  
   [PID-11] Patient Permanent Address
   When the permanent address is active, it is the only address in PID-11
  
   Example: 321 Dakota Ave.~""~WASHINGTON~DC~20032~USA~P~""~001
  
   [PID-11] Patient Temporary Address
   When the temporary address is active, both the temporary and permanent 
   addresses are located in PID-11.
  
   Example: 321 Dakota Ave.~""~WASHINGTON~DC~20032~USA~P~""~001^^1234 Lake 
   Park Ave.
          ~""~Crofton~MD~21114~USA

   Hines              ftp.domain.ext   
   Salt Lake City     ftp.domain.ext
