Home contact information. Note that an invalid email address will be silently ignored. If more than one email address is provided in PID-13 then the last in the list will be used, and the others will be silently ignored. See our notes on email address handling for more information.

PID-13.1

Contact value

[[Patient.Contact.Value]] is set to this value if PID-13.2 is NET and PID-13.4 is not provided.

If PID-13.2 is PRN or PRS then this value competes to be added to [[Patient.Phone]].

Note: Only one phone number is stored in [[Patient.Phone]]. To determine which phone number is stored an order of precedence is applied: mobile (PRS), then home (PRN), then work (WPN). HL7 null is accepted as a value and precedence still applied.

Y - for phone numbers

N/A - for email addresses

PID-13.2

Contact use code. Allowed values are defined in Code Set PKBCS02.

NET

If this is NET then

[[Patient.Contact.Type]]

will be set to EMAIL.

N/A

PID-13.4

Email address. When receiving data where PID-13.2 is NET, PKB will pull the email address from PID-13.4. If this field is not provided, then PID-13.1 will be used instead.
