AU Patient Internal Identifier | This identifier profile defines a patient internal identifier in an Australian context. A patient internal identifier is assigned to a patient by an application (e.g. practice management system or a cloud-based electronic medical record) to uniquely identify a patient within that application. While a patient internal identifier can be exchanged with other applications, its scope for sharing is limited and typically occurs for context-specific patient matching (e.g. a patient internal identifier included in a pathology request can be returned in the associated pathology report). Implementers should be aware when sharing a patient internal identifier that it is only unique within the assigning application, unlike a Medical Record Number (MRN) that is unique within an institution.
AU Pensioner Concession Card Number | This identifier profile defines a Pensioner Concession Card number in an Australian context (see Services Australia or Department of Veterans’ Affairs). This definition supports sending the Centrelink Customer Reference Number (CRN) (also referred to as unique identifier number (UIN) in the Centrelink Confirmation eServices (CCeS)) as displayed on the individual’s Pensioner Concession Card (see Services Australia for further information). An individual’s CRN is present as the primary identifier on different concession cards and is used to confirm concessions by most government agencies and utility providers.
