Template  XCN - Extended composite ID number and name for persons

This string refers to the coded ID according to a user-defined table, defined by the 9^th component. If the first component is present, either the source table or the assigning authority must be valued.

Retained for backward compatibility only as of v 2.5. See Professional Suffix component.

Used to specify an educational degree (e.g., MD). Refer to User-defined Table 0360 – Degree for suggested values.

The assigning authority is a unique identifier of the system (or organization or agency of department) that creates the data. User-defined Table 0363 – Assigning authority is used as the HL7 identifier for the user-defined table of values for the first sub-component of the HD component, <namespace ID>.

Note: When the HD data type is used in a given segment as a component of a field of another data type, User-defined Table 0300 - Namespace ID (referenced by the first sub-component of the HD component) may be re-defined (given a different user-defined table number and name) by the technical committee responsible for that segment.

By site agreement, implementers may continue to use User-defined Table 0300 – Namespace ID for the first sub-component.

Contains the code identifying the check digit scheme employed.

Refer to HL7 Table 0061 - Check digit scheme for valid values.

A code corresponding to the type of identifier. In some cases, this code may be used as a qualifier to the <assigning authority> component. Refer to HL7 Table 0203 - Identifier type for suggested values.

The place or location identifier where the identifier was first assigned to the person. This component is not an inherent part of the identifier but rather part of the history of the identifier: as part of this data type, its existence is a convenience for certain intercommunicating systems.

Note: When the HD data type is used in a given segment as a component of a field of another data type, User-defined Table 0300 - Namespace ID (referenced by the first sub-component of the HD component) may be re-defined (given a different user-defined table number and name) by the technical committee responsible for that segment.

Different <name/address types> and representations of the same <name/address> should be described by repeating of this field, with different values of the <name/address type> and/or <name/address representation> component.

Note: This new component remains in "alphabetic" representation with each repetition of the field using these data types. I.e., even though the name may be represented in an ideographic character set, this component will remain represented in an alphabetic character set.

Refer to HL7 Table 0465 – Name/address representation for valid values.

In general this component provides an indication of the representation provided by the data item. It does not necessarily specify the character sets used. Thus, even though the representation might provide an indication of what to expect, the sender is still free to encode the contents using whatever character set is desired. This component provides only hints for the receiver, so it can make choices regarding what it has been sent and what it is capable of displaying.

Retained for backward compatibility only as of v 2.5. Refer to XCN.19 Effective Date and XCN.20 Expiration Date instead. This component cannot be fully expressed and has been identified as v 2.4 erratum.

This component contains the start and end date/times that define the period during which this name was valid. See section 2.A.20, "DR - date/time range" for description of subcomponents.

The geo-political body that assigned the identifier in component 1.

The agency or department that assigned the identifier in component 1.
