| CN | Combined result | A | A | | Filler Applications. | Filler Applications. | Filler Applications.
The combined result code provides a mechanism to transmit results that are associated with two or more orders. This situation occurs commonly in radiology reports when the radiologist dictates a single report for two or more exams represented as two or more orders. For example, knee and hand films for a rheumatoid arthritis patient might generate a single dictation on the part of the radiologist.
When such results are reported the CN code replaces the RE code in all but the last ORC, and the results follow the last ORC and its OBR. An example follows of a single report following three ORCs:

There are three circumstances that involve requesting an order number (ORC-2-placer order number or ORC-3-filler order number):
(1) When the filler application needs to request an ORC-3-filler order number from a centralized application (e.g., HIS).
SN – The send order number code provides a mechanism for the filler to request an ORC-3-filler order number from some centralized application (called “other” in the table below), such as a central HIS, by sending an ORM message containing an ORC-1-order control value of SN. This ORC has a null ORC-3-filler order number and an ORC-2-placer order number created by the filler application when the filler originates the order.
The order (SN type) message can be acknowledged by either one of two methods:
a) By an order application acknowledgement message containing an ORC-1-order control value of OK. Then an unsolicited order message can be sent at a future time, containing an ORC with ORC-1-order control value of NA to provide the actual number assigned.
b) By an order acknowledgement message containing an ORC-1-order control value of NA as described below.
NA – The number assigned code allows the “other” application to notify the filler application of the newly-assigned filler order number. ORC-1-order control contains value of NA, ORC-2-placer order number (from the ORC with the SN value), and the newly-assigned filler order number.

Note: Both the placer order number and the filler order number have the filler’s application ID
(2) When the filler application needs to request an ORC-2-placer order number from some other application (e.g., Order Entry).
SN – The send order number code provides a mechanism for the filler application to request an ORC-2-placer order number from another application (called “other” in the table below) by sending an order message containing an ORC-1-order control value of SN. This ORC has a null ORC-2-placer order number and an ORC-3-filler order number created by the filler application when the filler originates the order.

There are three circumstances that involve requesting an order number (ORC-2-placer order number or ORC-3-filler order number):
(1) When the filler application needs to request an ORC-3-filler order number from a centralized application (e.g., HIS).
SN – The send order number code provides a mechanism for the filler to request an ORC-3-filler order number from some centralized application (called “other” in the table below), such as a central HIS, by sending an ORM message containing an ORC-1-order control value of SN. This ORC has a null ORC-3-filler order number and an ORC-2-placer order number created by the filler application when the filler originates the order.
The order (SN type) message can be acknowledged by either one of two methods:
a) By an order application acknowledgement message containing an ORC-1-order control value of OK. Then an unsolicited order message can be sent at a future time, containing an ORC with ORC-1-order control value of NA to provide the actual number assigned.
b) By an order acknowledgement message containing an ORC-1-order control value of NA as described below.
NA – The number assigned code allows the “other” application to notify the filler application of the newly-assigned filler order number. ORC-1-order control contains value of NA, ORC-2-placer order number (from the ORC with the SN value), and the newly-assigned filler order number.
Code From ORC-2-Placer Order Number ORC-3-Filler Order Number
SN filler application placer order number^filler application ID Null
NA other application placer order number^filler application ID filler order number^filler application ID
Note: Both the placer order number and the filler order number have the filler’s application ID
(2) When the filler application needs to request an ORC-2-placer order number from some other application (e.g., Order Entry).
SN – The send order number code provides a mechanism for the filler application to request an ORC-2-placer order number from another application (called “other” in the table below) by sending an order message containing an ORC-1-order control value of SN. This ORC has a null ORC-2-placer order number and an ORC-3-filler order number created by the filler application when the filler originates the order.

The parent (PA) and child (CH) order control codes allow the spawning of “child” orders from a “parent” order without changing the parent (original order). One or more ORC segments with an ORC-1-order control value of PA are followed by one or more ORC segments with an ORC-1-order control value of CH. Whether OBR segments must be present is determined by the value of ORC-6-response flag.
For example, suppose that a microbiology culture produced two organisms and corresponding susceptibility reports. Then the sequence of segments would be as follows: (see figure 4-4)
The assignment of placer order numbers in the parent-child paradigm depends on whether the placer or filler creates the child order and in the latter case, on whether the placer supports the SN/NA transaction. If the placer creates the child orders it will assign their placer order numbers according to its usual procedures. If the filler creates the child orders there are two possibilities: each child will inherit the placer order number of its parent, or the filler will use the SN/NA transaction to request that the placer assign a placer order number. In either case, the filler application creates the filler order numbers of the children according to its usual procedures.
Whenever a child order is transmitted in a message the ORC segment’s ORC-8-parent is valued with the parent’s filler order number (if originating from the filler) and with the parent’s placer order number (if originating from the filler or if originating from the placer).

The observations-to-follow code is used to transmit patient-specific information with an order. An order detail segment (e.g., OBR) can be followed by one or more observation segments (OBX). Any observation that can be transmitted in an ORU message can be transmitted with this mechanism. When results are transmitted with an order, the results should immediately follow the order or orders that they support.
The following example shows the sequence of segments for three Pharmacy orders. It illustrates the use of the RE code:

A replacement is the substitution of one or more orders for one or more previously ordered services.
The replaced orders are treated as though they were canceled. If and when an ordered service can be replaced are local site-specific determinations.
Use the parent/child order control codes if the site specifies that the original order must remain intact. Do not use the replacement codes under this circumstance.
For each order to be replaced, use an ORC-1-order control value of RP (request for a replacement going to a filler) or RU (an unsolicited replacement created by the filler) used by the filler to notify the placer and/or other systems). By local agreement, the ORC segment (with RP or RU) may be followed by its original order detail segment. The ORC segments (with RP or RU) must be followed by an ORC segment with an ORC-1-order control value of RO (indicating the replacement order). By local agreement, the ORC with the RO value may be followed by an order detail segment.
For example, suppose that an ancillary application were replacing two OBR orders with three different orders. The sequence of segments would be as follows:
Seg Order Control Comment
ORC RU 1st replaced ORC
OBR 1st replaced order’s detail segment
ORC RU 2nd replaced ORC
OBR 2nd replaced order’s detail segment
ORC RO 1st replacement ORC
OBR 1st replacement order’s detail segment
ORC RO 2nd replacement ORC
OBR 2nd replacement order’s detail segment
ORC RO 3rd replacement ORC
OBR 3rd replacement order’s detail segment
Whether the OBR segments must be present is determined by the value of ORC-6-response flag.
The described replacement method will handle all possible cases of replacement: one into one, many into one, one into many, and many into many. If the placer sent this request to the filler with two RPs, and this was a response back from the filler to the placer, the two RUs (replaced unsolicited) would be two RQs (replaced as requested). (see figure 4-3)
Seg Order Control Comment
ORC RQ 1st replaced ORC
OBR 1st replaced order’s detail segment
ORC RQ 2nd replaced ORC
OBR 2nd replaced order’s detail segment
ORC RO 1st replacement ORC
OBR 1st replacement order’s detail segment
ORC RO 2nd replacement ORC
OBR 2nd replacement order’s detail segment
ORC RO 3rd replacement ORC
OBR 3rd replacement order’s detail segment
The replacement order code is sent by the filler application to another application indicating the exact replacement ordered service. It is used with the RP and RU order control codes as described above.
The rules for the order numbers in ORC segments with an order control value of RO are determined by the replacement type (RP or RU).
In the case of the RU type (i.e., unsolicited replacement by the filler), the filler order number is generated as usual by the filler application. The placer order number is identical to the placer order number of the first transmitted ORC with an order control value of RU.
In the case of the RP type (i.e., a replacement request from another application to the filler), the placer order number is generated by the placer application using the procedure for new orders. The filler order number is generated by the filler application using the procedure identical for new orders.
If a replacement sequence is used in an ORU message (i.e., during results reporting), the following are the recommended segments to be used for the replacement orders:
ORC with an order control value of RO.

A replacement is the substitution of one or more orders for one or more previously ordered services.
The replaced orders are treated as though they were canceled. If and when an ordered service can be replaced are local site-specific determinations.
Use the parent/child order control codes if the site specifies that the original order must remain intact. Do not use the replacement codes under this circumstance.
For each order to be replaced, use an ORC-1-order control value of RP (request for a replacement going to a filler) or RU (an unsolicited replacement created by the filler) used by the filler to notify the placer and/or other systems). By local agreement, the ORC segment (with RP or RU) may be followed by its original order detail segment. The ORC segments (with RP or RU) must be followed by an ORC segment with an ORC-1-order control value of RO (indicating the replacement order). By local agreement, the ORC with the RO value may be followed by an order detail segment.
For example, suppose that an ancillary application were replacing two OBR orders with three different orders. The sequence of segments would be as follows:
Seg Order Control Comment
ORC RU 1st replaced ORC
OBR 1st replaced order’s detail segment
ORC RU 2nd replaced ORC
OBR 2nd replaced order’s detail segment

OBR 1st replacement order’s detail segment
ORC RO 2nd replacement ORC
OBR 2nd replacement order’s detail segment
ORC RO 3rd replacement ORC
OBR 3rd replacement order’s detail segment
Whether the OBR segments must be present is determined by the value of ORC-6-response flag.
The described replacement method will handle all possible cases of replacement: one into one, many into one, one into many, and many into many. If the placer sent this request to the filler with two RPs, and this was a response back from the filler to the placer, the two RUs (replaced unsolicited) would be two RQs (replaced as requested).
