The Technical Steward for the STF segment is PA and Personnel Management.
The STF segment can identify any personnel referenced by information systems. These can be providers, staff, system users, and referring agents. In a network environment, this segment can be used to define personnel to other applications, for example, order entry clerks, insurance verification clerks, admission clerks, as well as provider demographics. When using the STF and PRA segments in the Staff/Practitioner Master File message, MFE-4-primary key value is used to link all the segments pertaining to the same master file entry. Therefore, in the MFE segment, MFE-4-primary key value must be filled in. Other segments may follow the STF segment to provide data for a particular type of staff member. The PRA segment (practitioner) is one such. It may optionally follow the STF segment in order to add practitioner-specific data. Other segments may be defined as needed. When using the segments included in this chapter for other then Staff/Practitioner Master File messages, disregard references to MFE-4 - primary key value.

If less granular typing or categorization of the staff is required in addition to the specific type(s) found in this field, the reader is referred to STF-39 Generic Resource Type or Category. Thus, while STF-4 may contain the code for a specific staff or practitioner type, STF-39 may contain "staff" or "practitioner".

Refer to User-defined Table 0771 – Resource Type or Category in Chapter 2C, Code Tables, for suggested values. This table contains no suggested values.
An enterprise might have more than one method to categorize or type resources at a high level. Therefore, this field can repeat.
Example: An organization may define discreet staff types (e.g., Pediatric Oncologist, Gerontologist, Oncology Pharmacist, Pediatric Pharmacist, Critical Care Nurse, Nurse Case Manager – Cardiology) as well as broad categories (e.g., Physician, Pharmacist, Nurse, Pediatric, Oncology, Cardiology, Case Management, Nephrology). Employing STF-4 for the discreet terms and STF-39 for the more generic terms allows both the levels of granularity to be apply to the staff without confusing the specific types with generic types. Thus, one may see:
STF-4 | STF-39 |
Custodian | Staff |
Non-clinical Nursing Supervisor | Manager |
Pediatric Oncologist | Physician ~ Pediatrics ~ Oncology |
Gerontologist | Physician |
Oncology Pharmacist | Pharmacist ~ Oncology |
Pediatric Pharmacist | Pediatrics ~ Pharmacist |
Critical Care Nurse | Nurse |
Nurse Case Manager – Cardiology | Nurse ~ Cardiology ~ Case Management |
