Codes P, F, and S identify sets (batteries) and should be associated with an OM5 segment

               to be sent in other independent OMx segments, one for each contained element.  In the
               ASTM context, most text reports – such as discharge summaries, admission H&amp;Ps, and
               chest X-ray reports – are considered as sets, in which each section of the report (e.g.,
               description, impression, and recommendation of an X-ray report) is considered a separate
               observation</td>
