AU Base Patient Profile

This profile defines a patient administration details structure that includes core localisation concepts.

Identifiers

These definitions represent common data held in the Patient.identifier element.

  • Individual Healthcare Identifier - IHI

METeOR Description

Namespace Description

The numerical identifier that uniquely identifies each individual in the Australian healthcare system.

The IHI identifier may also include extension properties IHI Status and IHI Record Status associated with the IHI value.

  • Medicare Number

METeOR Description

Person identifier, allocated by the Health Insurance Commission to eligible persons under the Medicare scheme, that appears on a Medicare card.

The Medicare card number should only be collected from persons eligible to receive health services that are to be funded by the Commonwealth government. The number should be reported to the appropriate government agency to reconcile payment for the service provided. The data should not be used by private sector organisations for any other purpose unless specifically authorised by law. For example, data linkage should not be carried out unless specifically authorised by law.

Medicare number may also include an expiry date associated with the number.

  • DVA (Department of Veterans’ Affairs) Number

METeOR Description

The data should not be used by private sector organisations for any purpose unless specifically authorised by law. For example, private sector organisations should not use the DVA file number for data linking unless specifically authorised by relevant privacy legislation.

DVA number may also include details of the specific card colour associated with the number.

  • Health Care Card Number
  • Pensioner Concession Card Number
  • Commonwealth Seniors Health Card Number

METeOR CRN Description

All of the above mentioned cards use Centerlink Customer Reference Number.

A personal identifier assigned by Centrelink for the purposes of identifying people (and organisations) eligible for specific services, including some public health care services, such as oral health services.

The CRN should only be collected from persons eligible to receive health services that are to be funded by Centrelink. The number may be reported to a Centrelink agency to reconcile payment for the service provided. The data should not be used by private sector organisations for any purpose unless specifically authorised by law. For example, data linkage should not be carried out unless specifically authorised by law.

Extensions

Definitions here describe extensions to the Patient resource.

  • Indigenous Status

METeOR Description

This extension is added to hold the administrative indigenous status of an individual. The Commonwealth defintion of indigenous status is “An Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander is a person of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent who identifies as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and is accepted as such by the community in which he or she lives”

Indigenous status is defined as a coded concept associated with the patient.

  • Close the Gap Registration

As per CTG indicator

An extension to hold the indication of registration to the Close the Gap co-payment scheme status for the patient. The CTG PBS Co-payment Measure improves access to PBS medicines for eligible Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders living with, or at risk of, chronic disease.

  • Birth Time

Standard STU3 extension

An extension to record the time of day that the Patient was born. This includes the date to ensure that the timezone information can be communicated effectively.

Examples

Patient with IHI, Medicare Number, and Health Care Card

Patient with IHI and DVA Number
