0. Identifier
Definition | National Provider Identifier at Organisation (NPIO) identifies an individual practitioner at an organisation using the practitioner's HPI-I and organisation's HPI-O to form the NPIO.
Short | National Provider Identifier at Organisation (NPIO)
Invariants | inv-npio-0: NPIO shall be 33 characters (`value.length() = 33`) inv-npio-1: NPIO shall start with '800361', then 10 digits, then '@', then '800362', then 10 digits (`value.matches('^(800361)([0-9]{10})(@)(800362)([0-9]{10})$')`)

0. Identifier
Definition | National Provider Identifier at Organisation (NPIO) identifies an individual practitioner at an organisation using the practitioner's HPI-I and organisation's HPI-O to form the NPIO. An identifier - identifies some entity uniquely and unambiguously. Typically this is used for business identifiers.
Short | National Provider Identifier at Organisation (NPIO)An identifier intended for computation
Control | 0..* This element is affected by the following invariants: ele-1
Is Modifier | false
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) inv-npio-0: NPIO shall be 33 characters (`value.length() = 33`) inv-npio-1: NPIO shall start with '800361', then 10 digits, then '@', then '800362', then 10 digits (`value.matches('^(800361)([0-9]{10})(@)(800362)([0-9]{10})$')`)
2. Identifier.use
Definition | The purpose of this identifier.
Short | usual | official | temp | secondary | old (If known)
Comments | Applications can assume that an identifier is permanent unless it explicitly says that it is temporary.
Control | 0..1
Binding | The codes SHALL be taken from IdentifierUse http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/identifier-use|4.0.1 (required to `http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/identifier-use|4.0.1` ) Identifies the purpose for this identifier, if known .
Type | code
Is Modifier | true because This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because applications should not mistake a temporary id for a permanent one.
Primitive Value | This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension
Summary | true
Requirements | Allows the appropriate identifier for a particular context of use to be selected from among a set of identifiers.
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
4. Identifier.type
Definition | A coded type for the identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose.
Short | Description of identifier
Comments | This element deals only with general categories of identifiers. It SHOULD not be used for codes that correspond 1..1 with the Identifier.system. Some identifiers may fall into multiple categories due to common usage. Where the system is known, a type is unnecessary because the type is always part of the system definition. However systems often need to handle identifiers where the system is not known. There is not a 1:1 relationship between type and system, since many different systems have the same type.
Control | 10..1
Binding | Unless not suitable, these codes SHALL be taken from Identifier Type Codes http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/identifier-type (extensible to `http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/identifier-type` ) A coded type for an identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose.
Type | CodeableConcept
Is Modifier | false
Summary | true
Requirements | Allows users to make use of identifiers when the identifier system is not known.
Pattern Value | `{ "coding" : [{ "system" : "http://terminology.hl7.org.au/CodeSystem/v2-0203", "code" : "NPIO" }] }`
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
6. Identifier.system
Definition | Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique.
Short | The namespace for the identifier value
Comments | Identifier.system is always case sensitive.
Control | 10..1
Type | uri
Is Modifier | false
Primitive Value | This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension
Summary | true
Requirements | There are many sets of identifiers. To perform matching of two identifiers, we need to know what set we're dealing with. The system identifies a particular set of unique identifiers.
Fixed Value | `http://hl7.org.au/id/npio`
Example | <br/><b>General</b>:http://www.acme.com/identifiers/patient
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
8. Identifier.value
Definition | The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system.
Short | NPIOThe value that is unique
Comments | If the value is a full URI, then the system SHALL be urn:ietf:rfc:3986. The value's primary purpose is computational mapping. As a result, it may be normalized for comparison purposes (e.g. removing non-significant whitespace, dashes, etc.) A value formatted for human display can be conveyed using the Rendered Value extension. Identifier.value is to be treated as case sensitive unless knowledge of the Identifier.system allows the processer to be confident that non-case-sensitive processing is safe.
Control | 10..1 This element is affected by the following invariants: inv-npio-0, inv-npio-1
Type | string
Is Modifier | false
Primitive Value | This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension

Example | <br/><b>General</b>:123456 <br/><b>NPIO</b>:8003619900015717@8003621566684455
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))

0. Identifier
Definition | National Provider Identifier at Organisation (NPIO) identifies an individual practitioner at an organisation using the practitioner's HPI-I and organisation's HPI-O to form the NPIO.

Type | string
Is Modifier | false
XML Format | In the XML format, this property is represented as an attribute.
Summary | false
4. Identifier.extension
Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.
Short | Additional content defined by implementations
Comments | There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.
Control | 0..*
Type | Extension
Is Modifier | false
Summary | false
Alternate Names | extensions, user content
Invariants | ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (`hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (`extension.exists() != value.exists()`)
