The Extended Person Name (XPN) HL7 segment maps to the PersonName object in Salesforce.
Here’s how the segments defined by HL7 V2.3 for XPN map to fields in Salesforce standard objects.
Only the segments supported by Salesforce are mentioned below.
Note
| XPN | Salesforce Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| XPN.1 - Family Name | PersonName.LastName | String | In cases where a person has a middle name, PersonName.LastName is supposed to store a combination of the middle name and the last name. |
| XPN.2 - Given Name | PersonName.FirstName | String | N/A |
| XPN.3 - Middle Initial or Name | N/A | N/A | This attribute isn’t implemented in PersonName. In cases where a person has a middle name, PersonName.LastName is supposed to store a combination of the middle name and the last name. |
| XPN.4 - Suffix | PersonName.Suffix | String | N/A |
| XPN.5 - Prefix | PersonName.Prefix | String | N/A |
| XPN.6 - Degree | N/A | N/A | This attribute isn’t implemented in PersonName. |
| XPN.7 - Name Type Code | PersonName.NameUsageType | Dynamic Picklist | While HL7 defines XPN.7 as a code, Salesforce implements PersonName.NameUsageType as a dynamic picklist. |
