PERSON REQUESTED NAME is the same as PERSON NAME TEXT where the PERSON NAME UNSTRUCTURED TYPE equals 'b. Person Requested Name'.

This is the e-GIF standard that should be used for all new and developing systems and for XML messages. For existing CDS EDIFACT messages however, PATIENT NAME should be used.
