Description

    Unique sequential number assigned by a laboratory to the fifth report for this case.

This item accommodates only one path report. Information in this data item should refer to the path report described in data items 7014, 7104, 7194, 7324, and 7484.
    
      
    Note: In some cases the HL7 field length as sent by the laboratory may be longer than 20.

Rationale
The pathology report number provides a cross reference that identifies the specimen at the pathology facility. It may be useful for follow back with the pathology facility.
    
    Cancer registries collect cancer information from various sources including pathology laboratories. Pathology reports of different types may be sent via HL7 messages. Included here are data items coming from such a message to be included in the cancer registry database to aid in consolidating a cancer case when there is information from multiple sources. Traditionally, these data items were not part of the NAACCR Standards Volume II record layout and therefore provide a link to NAACCR Standards Volume V.
