Typically the receiving system wants the elements from each OBX-5 to be as repeating OBX-5 field in one OBX (not concatenated together).
Are you sure that is not what is needed?
For example:
ib:
OBX|01|TX|Abdomen 1V^Abdomen 1v^Rad|01|1016180 Oloughlin Kathleen|…
OBX|02|TX|Abdomen 1V^Abdomen 1v^Rad|01||…
OBX|03|TX|Abdomen 1V^Abdomen 1v^Rad|01|Screening Mammogram:||…
ob:
OBX|01|TX|Abdomen 1V^Abdomen 1v^Rad|01|1016180 Oloughlin Kathleen~~Screening Mammogram:~…
Using your example.
Rather than an ob:
OBX|01|TX|Abdomen 1V^Abdomen 1v^Rad|01|1016180 Oloughlin KathleenScreening Mammogram:…
THe technique for either is similar but yet different – and you want to get correct what the receiving system wants.
