| Comments: | The Australian Standard for Person and provider identification in healthcare (AS 4846:2014) outlines the following principles of identifiers in health care: Principle A: Identifiers shall be unique to a purpose and often to a person or organisation, although family group identifiers exist and are unique to the family. Principle B: Identifiers shall not be recycled or reused. Principle C: Each person or organisation should have a single active identifier from a given issuer for a specific usage at any given point in time. The combination of 3 identifier data elements—Identifier—identifier designation, text X[X(19)], Identifier issuer and Identifier—identifier usage, code NNN—uniquely identify an entity for a specific purpose, known as a globally unique identifier. | ||||
