15.1 CHAPTER 15 CONTENTS

15.2 PURPOSE

The Personnel Management transactions set provides for the transmission of new or updated healthcare administration information about individual healthcare practitioners and supporting staff members. Since many systems (e.g., security, scheduling, orders, etc.), must be able to closely monitor changes in certain information regarding individual healthcare practitioners, the Personnel Management transaction set is used to clearly identify these events. For example, it is important to a Security System to be aware of when a staff member was hired or specific role has been terminated. Prior to Version 2.4, master file updates were the only method to update this information. However, when any of these changes are reported as master file update notifications, it is not obvious which of the data has been changed, and is cumbersome to process efficiently. It should be noted that Personnel Management functions that do not affect healthcare administration (e.g. benefits) are not addressed in this chapter.
Generally, information is entered into a Personnel Management system and passed to other systems requiring individual healthcare practitioner data either in the form of an unsolicited update or a response to a record-oriented query.
This document defines the transactions that occur at the application layer (the seventh level of the ISO-OSI models), that is, the abstract messages. The examples included in this chapter were constructe d using the HL7 Encoding Rules , Trigger Events and Messages.
Each trigger event is documented below, along with the applicable form of the message exchange. The notation used to describe the sequence, optionality, and repetition of segments is described in Chapter 2, Section 2.12, "Chapter Formats for Defining HL7 Messages."
The trigger events that follow are served by the unsolicited Personnel Management update (PMU) and General Acknowledgment (ACK) response.
The information that is included in any of these trigger event transactions can be more than the minimum necessary to communicate that event. Any of the fields occurring in the segments listed for the message can be used. A few or many fields can be used as agreed upon during implementation. However, please note, that when the contents of a field change for a field that is not necessarily related to the trigger event, it is a matter for implementation negotiation as to whether the receiving systems can capture this changed data.

15.2.1 Usage of chapter 15 vs. chapter 8

Chapter 8 deals with master file maintenance.
Chapter 15 manages operational relationships based on trigger events.

15.3 TRIGGER EVENTS AND MESSAGE DESCRIPTIONS

15.3.1 PMU/ACK - Add personnel record (event B01)

An event B01 signals to add a new record for healthcare administration information about an individual healthcare practitioner establishing a relationship between that practitioner and the institution.

15.4.6 STF - Staff identification segment

The Technical Steward for the STF segment is PAFM and Personnel Management.
The STF segment can identify any personnel referenced by information systems. These can be providers, staff, system users, and referring agents. In a network environment, this segment can be used to define personnel to other applications; for example, order entry clerks, insurance verification clerks, admission clerks, as well as provider demographics. When using the STF and PRA segments in the Staff/Practitioner Master File message, MFE-4-primary key value is used to link all the segments pertaining to the same master file entry. Therefore, in the MFE segment, MFE-4-primary key value must be filled in. Other segments may follow the STF segment to provide data for a particular type of staff member. The PRA segment (practitioner) is one such. It may optionally follow the STF segment in order to add practitioner-specific data. Other segments may be defined as needed. When using the segments included in this chapter for other then Staff/Practitioner Master File messages, disregard references to MFE-4 - primary key value.
