HL7 identifier type codes (v2-0203) -- all codes Value set

HL7 identifier type codes -- the vocabulary on Identifier.type that says what KIND of identifier a value is: MR for a medical record number, JHN for a jurisdictional health number, and so on.

This specification pins it on the Patient profile's identifier slices, where it carries the type alongside the system: identifier[mrn].type is MR and identifier[jurisdictional].type names a health number. The system URI already determines the authority; the type code is what makes the distinction legible to a reader or a tool that does not recognise the system.

The canonical URI is http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v2-0203.

The set enumerates no codes of its own. It includes the whole system, so it means every code in it, and it exists so the system URI resolves to a definition rather than to nothing. The definition itself stays with the publisher at the canonical above: this specification does not redefine the system and does not restrict it. Where this page shows a list of codes, that list is a SAMPLE reproduced under the publisher's own terms and is not the set's content -- the page says how many of how many it is showing.
