Answer 1

You might be refering to certain terms in your own language. As far as I can break down your terms below is a list for your requirements.

File number :

PID.18 Patient account number, thats where the filenumber goes. If filenumber is treated as patient IDs then its either PID.2 or PID.3

Father name :

in NK1.2 or GT1.3 or IN1.16 segment, if relation ship is established. That is, if NK1.3,GT1.11 or IN1.17 code suggest it is a father son relationship.

Department :

PV1.3.1 -point of care in an ADT message or in the LDP segment in LDP.2 in an MFN message.

Doctor:

PV1.7 Attending provider.

PV1.8 referring provider.

PV1.52 Auxilliary Provider.

OBR.16 Ordering provider.

Diagnosis Information:

DG1 segment

DG1.3 - Code

DG1.5 - Date and time

Answer 2

Just check the relevant fields of the PID segment, especially

PID/5 Patient Name  
PID/7 Date/Time of Birth  
PID/8 Sex  
PID/11 Patient Adress
PID/..
 a.s.o

You will find location data in the PV1 segment.
All the doctors should be in PV1 too.
Diagnosis data is in the DG1 segment.
Fathers name could be in NK1.
