In order to send through a national ID, you need to supply the Assigning Authority and Identifier Type Code as detailed in the table below.

Identifier Name

Assigning Authority

NH

In addition, note that the NHS number can optionally include a status code, as defined in the NHS Data Dictionary . If present, the status code is supplied with the identifier type code, in the format NH{status:XX} where XX is the status code. There must be no space between “NH” and the status code. Since the status code is optional, “NH” remains a valid identifier type code. For example: NH{status:01}

*A note about NHS-Type Numbers. The following 3 National ID Types are drawn from the same numbering scheme, but with non-overlapping ranges. PKB considers them to be separate types. It is the responsibility of the sender to ensure the correct AA/TC values are sent.

...

Each PKB Organisation or PKB Team can be associated with multiple local identifier types, and each patient can be associated with multiple ID values for each local identifier type.

AA wildcarding

A local ID type can have a wildcard for the Assigning Authority (but not the Type Code). If this is configured, then an HL7 identifier will be assigned to this type if the TC matches, regardless of the provided AA value.

Restrictions & scope

The scope of AA/TC pairs for local IDs is the whole PKB Organisation. All AA/TC pairs for a PKB Organisation (and for all PKB Teams within that PKB Organisation) must be unique across the PKB Organisation.
