This identifier profile defines a local order identifier in an Australian context. A local order identifier is an organisation’s identifier for an order in that organisation’s local system set of orders.
Typically a local order identifier will be either a placer identifier or a filler identifier (sometimes known as filler order number). A placer identifier is an identifier for a request or group of requests where the identifier is issued by the entity making the request. A filler identifier is an identifier for a request or group of requests where the identifier is issued by the entity that produces the observations or fulfills the request.
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 on using an HPI-O to construct a legal globally unique identifier system for local identifiers.
System identifier namespace for the organisation that assigned the order identifier ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children Example General: http://www.acme.com/identifiers/patient
