This page is part of the Australian Base IG (v4.2.2-preview: QA Preview) based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) R4. The current version which supersedes this version is 4.1.0. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

Data Type Profile: AU IHI

Official URL: http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/au-ihi		Version: 4.2.2-preview
Standards status: Trial-use	Maturity Level: 2	Computable Name: AUIHI
Copyright/Legal: HL7 Australia© 2018+; Licensed Under Creative Commons No Rights Reserved.

This identifier profile defines an Individual Healthcare Identifier in an Australian context (see Australian Digital Health Agency for further information). An IHI is assigned under the Healthcare Identifiers (HI) Service to a patient.

Usage Notes

Profile specific implementation guidance:

Multiple Individual Healthcare Identifiers (IHIs) can be used in where the IHI status and/or IHI record status varies (e.g. deceased, provisional) though implementers should be aware when exchanging patient information that systems may not support multiple IHIs for an individual.

Usage:

Use this DataType Constraint: AU Base Patient and AU Base Related Person
