0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Person
identification message (MEDPID) to be used in Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in
administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional definition
The message is used to pass detailed information on persons
from, for instance, health insurance agencies to local
government in order to verify, add, change or delete person
related data in information systems. The message may also be
used to transfer person information between various application
systems within one organisation (i.e. hospital).
Usually detailed person related information for one or more
persons is sent from one organisation to another who will
acknowledge the message that is sent and proceed with changing,
adding or deleting person data in their own files or use the
transferred information to check their own registers and send a
verification message back.
1.2 Field of application
The Person identification message may be used for both national
and international applications. It is based on universal
practice related to administration, commerce and transport, and
is not dependent on the type of business or industry.
This message may be applied for transfer of person related data
between organisations that operate on local, regional, national
and/or international level. These organisations typically
operate in the field of healthcare, health insurance,
government and public affairs.
1.3 Principles
Detailed person information may be transferred for more than
one person.
For each person additional information about related persons
and related names may be included.
The message may indicate the action that should be taken by the
receiving party either to add, change, delete or verify the
person information.
