In HL7 every segment element (and even every component of every element) is assigned an HL7 data type. Each datatype is made up of one or more components, with each of those also having a datatype. Many of the data types (the vast majority of them in fact) are compound types that have more than one component. Refer to the HL7 rules for Data Types for a more in-depth explanation of how they are defined.
This window allows you to add new data types or add/edit/modify the components that make up a particular data type.
