Data Definition Tables
The HL7 specifications were prepared using a data dictionary database. Certain
outputs from that database are included in the chapters that define the
abstract messages. These outputs list the data fields and field notes
associated with a segment. Other Data Dictionary outputs are included here to
comprise appendix A. These include:
* a list of the message types that comprise the HL7 protocol
* a list of the segment IDs and segment names
* a list of each data element organized alphabetically by name
* a list of the IDs and names of all tables of coded values
* a cross reference of table IDs vs. data element names
* a list of the contents of each table
* a list of all data element names.
