definition
The organisation code of the organisation acting as the health care provider.
NHS organisations are allocated a main 3-character code, however this field may contain the 3-character organisation code or a full 5-character code (e.g. a site code, a HQ code ending 01 etc.). Independent providers will always be represented in this field by a 5-character code. Users wishing to group data at 3-character level (which will identify an individual organisation - e.g. NHS Trust) may wish to use the field PROCODE3.
Note that details of the site code can be found in the field 'site code of treatment' (SITETRET).
