X-Post: Implementations Using JPID Identifier Type

The HL7 Unified Governance Terminology group is currently evaluating the request to add the identifier type of JPID (Jurisdictional Person Identification) to the HL7 v2-0203 Code System . This new type was originally put forward a number of years ago to be used by NamingSystems in the Canadian URI Registry and has since been socialized by the CA Baseline.

However, some of the identifiers previously categorized under this type could map to other values in the table (e.g., Social Beneficiary Number, Permanent Resident Card Number, Treaty Number, etc): Canada Social Insurance Number , I nterim Federal Health Program Identifier , Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada number , Canada Permanent Resident Card Number

We are seeking input from any implementers of the JPID identifier type to bolster the rationale for its inclusion as a standalone type/assess impact of withdrawing the request.
