0. PN | |
Definition | A name for a person. A sequence of name parts, such as given name or family name, prefix, suffix, etc. Examples for person name values are "Jim Bob Walton, Jr.", "Adam Everyman", etc. A person name may be as simple as a character string or may consist of several person name parts, such as, "Jim", "Bob", "Walton", and "Jr.". PN differs from EN because the qualifier type cannot include LS (Legal Status). |
Control | 1..* |
XML Format | In the XML format, this property has the namespace urn:hl7-org:v3 .The children of this property can appear in any order in the XML. |
Invariants | pn-no-ls: No PN name part may have a qualifier of LS. ((delimiter | family | given | prefix | suffix).where(qualifier = 'LS').empty() ) |
