This identifier profile defines an employee number (sometimes referred to as an employee identifier (EI)) in an Australian context. An employee number is an organisation's identifier for an individual employed by that organisation. 

### Usage Notes

**Profile specific implementation guidance:**

* An organisation should use their own local system identifier namespace but if that is not available then see the guidance on [Business Identifiers](generalguidance.md#business-identifiers) on using an HPI-O or ABN to construct a legal globally unique identifier system for local identifiers.

**Usages:**

* Use this DataType Profile: [AU Base PractitionerRole](StructureDefinition-au-practitionerrole.md)

You can also check for [usages in the FHIR IG Statistics](https://packages2.fhir.org/xig/resource/hl7.fhir.au.base|current/StructureDefinition/StructureDefinition-au-employeenumber.json)
