AU Medical Record Number [FMM 2]
This identifier profile defines a medical record number (MRN) (sometimes referred to as unit record number (URN) or (UR)) in an Australian context. An MRN is an institution’s identifier for a patient’s record at that institution. A patient may have more than one MRN for a single institution due to organisational restructures.
No extensions are used in this profile.
It is preferable that an organisation uses their own local system identifier namespace but if that is not available then an organisation can use their ABN or HPI-O to construct a legal globally unique identifier system for their local identifiers.
See the Australian Digital Health Agency’s R4 FAQ for guidance on constructing an ABN-scoped[1] MRN or an HPI-O scoped[2] MRN.
Patient born in 2008, with ethnicity
Patient with interpreter required in particular language
Patient with interpreter required and language unknown
