Message

  1. IF 457: If a Race Code = 99, all Race Codes must = 99

  2. IF 457: If a race code (other than spaces, 88, or 99) must not be entered more than once

  3. IF 457: If a race code = 88, all subsequent race codes must = 88

  4. IF 457: If a race code = 99, all race codes must = 99

  5. IF 457: If a race code = spaces, all subsequent race codes must = spaces

  6. IF 457: A race code of 01 (white) must be the last recorded race

Specification:

Race 1, Race 2, Race 3, Race 4, and Race 5 are compared as follows:

  1. If any race codes (for Race 2, 3, 4, and 5) = spaces, all subsequent race codes must = spaces.

  2. If more than the Race 1 code is entered, if any race = 99 (unknown), all race codes (Race 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) must = 99.

  3. If more than the Race 1 code is entered, if any race codes (for Race 2, 3, 4, and 5) = 88 (no further race documented), then all subsequent race codes must also = 88.

  4. A particular race code (other than spaces, 88, or 99) must not occur more than once.

  5. If a patient has a race code of 01 (white), it must be the last recorded race for that patient; that is, the last race code not coded to 88 or spaces.
