This is clearly something we have to talk about. VistA HL7 uses the station number to identify snding and receiving facilities. IFCAP cannot be used without a station number. Cameron is probably right that modifying this field is not an option if compatibility with Standard VistA is required, but not changing it means a lot of work will have to be done elsewhere.
