 ,

<Patient>

     ...     

<identifier>         

<type>             

<coding>                 

    <system value="http://hl7.org/fhir/v2/0203"/>

     <code value="MR"/>

                <display value="Medical Record Number"/>

             </coding> 

            <text value="MR"/>

         </type>

       <system value="http://example.org/samplehealthservorg" />
             <!-- Required, namespace of the assigning organization 

                 (CDA has used HPI-O, however this is not always sufficiently granular)

                                    Others can be used also. 

               -->

         <value value="MR1234"/> <!-- Required -->

	<assigner> <!-- Details of the organization here? -->
            <display value="Sample Health Services Organization"/>

                  <!-- reference optional -->

          </assigner>

 </identifier> 

    ... 

</patient> 

In v2 there is a hospital code (often at state level), and the assigner

Patient Area Identifier (from Eric) would be defined at the local level. AUID (Area Unique Identifier) and may only be applicable in the public health space.

HL7 Australia does not expect to define all the identifier definitions, but will be happy to publish these on our infrastructure to ensure discoverability is easy.

Connectathon and WGM upcoming FHIR Connectathon.

Grahame has put up an implementation guide for

http://fhir.hl7.org.au/fhir/base/profiles.html

Still discussion as to which version of the FHIR specification to be using, DSTU2 or STU3?

Can we get a page setup for indicating who is coming, and what they are planning to do?

Connectathon will include a startup introduction session on the Australian profile as an introduction, and produce a specific agenda for the WGM.

Day 1: FHIR Connectathon + Presentations

     PA Afternoon meeting Q4, PA Intro session as part of connectathon
