This identifier profile defines a (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.

Usage Notes

Profile specific implementation guidance:

  • An organisation should use their own local system identifier namespace but if that is not available then see the guidance on Business Identifiers on using an HPI-O or ABN to construct a legal globally unique identifier system for local identifiers.
