An alternative change could be to "the 2nd non-empty field" in the example PID segment shown.

In the example shown, I have taken each field to be delimited by the pipe "|" symbol. Counting the "PID" string as field 1, and two consecutive delimiters as an empty field, the patient name field is field 6, not 2. It *is* the second non-empty field, so that's why I added this discussion point.
