KMEHR identifier

This is the string that uniquely identifies a KMEHR element: a message(header), a folder, a transaction, a heading or an item.

By the way, this virtually identifies uniquely the element within the Belgian HealthCare Telematics System through the concatenation of parent ids, starting from the MESSAGE HEADER ID.

At the level of the header, it is built through the concatenation of

  • the first ID-HCPARTY of the SENDER
  • a dot
  • a local unique identifier within the sending system.

That string is placed as the value of the element ID of the element HEADER.

For the other elements, the value is a sequential number within the parent element starting from 1.

That string is placed as the value of the element ID in the element FOLDER, TRANSACTION, HEADING or ITEM.

The scheme used is specified in the attribute 'S' of the element ID.

The version of the scheme used is specified in the attribute 'SV' of the element ID.

Type: Local unique number
Scheme ID: ID
Scheme version: 1.0

Example:

<transaction>
 <id S="ID-KMEHR" SV="1.0">
  2
 </id>
</transaction>

Explanation: This means that the transaction is the second transaction within the parent document.
