Draft Website - For Review Purposes Only

The ORG segment relates a practitioner to an organization unit and adds detailed information regarding the practitioner's practicing specialty in that organization unit. An ORG segment may optionally follow an STF segment. An ORG segment must always have been preceded by a corresponding STF segment. If no organization unit is specified, this segment is used to relate practitioners with their practicing specialties, including effective and end dates. When it is not necessary to record organization unit or dates associated with the practicing specialty, this data is recorded in PRA-3-Practitioner Category.
