Proposed Resolution for Missing PID-7 in Quest ELR

As noted in previous calls, the Quest ELR project team is developing a solution to address the rare occasion that PID-7 is missing in messages. Previous feedback includes:

  • Broad preference to allow messages to still pass validation; However, recommend populating with the field something and not just leaving blank.

  • If using nonsensical data to populate, request to avoid fake dates and just zeros.

  • A few jurisdictions advised that an ‘all-zero' date would be challenging because their surveillance system uses the name DOB and other pieces to match.

  • Taking all feedback into account, the proposed solution is for Quest to populate a zero code when PID-7 is missing. Alternate solutions will be scope for those jurisdictions for which this will not work.

  • Next steps:

    • Formal email communication to notify jurisdictions of this change, with one-week feedback period.

    • Email will also capture need for 1) alternate solution needed and 2) requesting test messages.

Email Tim Longo (tlongo@jmichael-consulting.com) with any questions.
