I'm trying to construct an incoming HL7 message and in looking at the OpenMRS HL7 page https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/HL7
in the PID section, there are two names PID|||1MT^0^M10||Patient^Jonny^Dee^DR|Patient^Momma^Thee^MS|20040101000000|M||B|555 Johnson Road^Apt. 555^Indianapolis^IN^46202^USA|||||||||||Indianapolis, IN|||||||||||||||||TRIBE CODE - Patient^Jonny^Dee^^DR| Family Name (Patient) ^ Given Name (Jonny) ^ Second / Middle Name (Dee) ^ Suffix () ^ Prefix (DR) - Patient^Momma^Thee^^MS| Mother's Maiden Family Name (Patient) ^ Given Name (Momma) ^ Second / Middle Name (Thee) ^ Suffix () ^ Prefix (MS) The first one has the family name and the second one the Mother's Maiden name. Why are there two names if this is only one patient?
