Mappings / PID

PID to Patient

PID to Patient. FHIR R4 targets: Patient, Account. See the v2-to-FHIR IG.

PID-2 and PID-4 were withdrawn after v2.7. Real senders still populate them, so they become Patient.identifier (External ID / Alternate Patient ID). PID-3 remains the official identifier list. A time on PID-7 becomes patient-birthTime; birthDate stays a date. Bare CX.4 takes Identifier.system from MSH-4. CX.5 MC uses the AU Base Medicare URI.
