Hello Everyone,

We've got a request to assign an URI to Alberta's Health Service Provider Identifier (HSPID)

I would suggest fhir.infoway-inforoute.ca/NamingSystem/ca-ab-provider-id or fhir.infoway-inforoute.ca/NamingSystem/ca-ab-health-service-provider-id

Please post here your opinion on these two options or any other suggestions.

Another extension we would like to expose in the Canadian Registry is Ontario health card number version code: ehealthontario.ca/fhir/StructureDefinition/ext-id-health-card-version-code

Patient’s ethnic and aboriginal info, along with with URI, are likely be extensions to the Patient resource. Can we define those on the national level at once?

Hi Igor,

Here are additional OIDs

2.16.840.1.113883.4.379 Royal Canadian Mounted Police Health Number

While I don't see an OID assigned to it, the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch also assigns number. Please see here: www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/first-nations-inuit-health/non-insured-health-benefits/health-provider-information/client-identification-health-provider-information-non-insured-health-benefits-first-nations-inuit-health.html

Thanks
Finnie
