We are using HL7 CDA R2 National Health Care Surveys Release 1.1 DSTU but in Outpatient Disposition data Item, two Codes/Values are provided. While adding these two codes, the validator tool give us an error "This encompassingEncounter SHALL contain exactly one [1..1] dischargeDispositionCode".

Do we have to use both or any of these codes for its successful validation?

Please find attached image for the reference.

Mr. Rehman,

Thank you for this question.

You can choose either of these codes and it will be acceptable. We will amend the test data to only include one discharge disposition example.

Regards,

Brian
