DatatypeNot PIIcategoricalDraft

This record is a draft: it has not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong. Do not rely on it for compliance decisions. Help improve it (see CONTRIBUTING.md).

Code from HL7 Table 0203 that tells what kind of identifier a value is, for example MR for a medical record number, SS for a Social Security number, PPN for a passport number, DL for a driver's license number or NPI for a national provider identifier. HL7 version 2 messages carry it in the CX, PLN, PPN, XCN and XON data types. HL7 maintains the table as the code system v2-0203 in HL7 Terminology (THO). The codes are case-sensitive and uppercase. The regexp lists the codes of version 5.0.0 of the code system (HL7 Terminology 7.5.0); NNxxx stands for NN followed by an ISO 3166 three-letter country code.
