DICOM PS3.3 2024d - Information Object Definitions |
---|
Table 10-17 specifies the Attributes of the HL7v2 Hierarchic Designator Macro, which identify an entity (system, organization, agency, or department) that has responsibility for managing or assigning a defined set of instance identifiers (such as placer or filler number, Patient identifiers, provider identifiers, etc.). This entity could be a particular health care application such as a registration system that assigns Patient identifiers, a governmental entity such as a licensing authority that assigns professional identifiers or drivers' license numbers, or a facility where such identifiers are assigned.
This definition is identical to HL7 v2.5, Section 2.A.33, with only minor changes for editorial style.
These Attributes are equivalent to the components of the HL7 v2 Hierarchic Designator (HD) and Entity Identifier (EI) data types (see HL7 v2 Chapter 2.A).
If both Local Namespace Entity ID (0040,0031) and Universal Entity ID (0040,0032) are present, they shall refer to the same entity.
