These define identifier and/or code system identities used by systems conforming to this implementation guide.

AHVN13

The AHVN13 / NAVS13 - (abbreviation for new thirteen-digit Social Security number) - is an administrative identifier for natural persons in Switzerland. It is issued, announced and administered by the Central Compensation Office. It is available to all organisations and communities for which there is a legal basis.

EPR_SPID

EPR-SPID: The Central Compensation Office (ZAS; CCO) assigns and manages the new patient identification number according to the EPRA (EPR-SPID), which is only linked internally in the CCO with the AHV number. It maintains the UPI identification database (Unique Personal Identifier Database), which the EPR communities may access. The law regulates how the the EPR-SPID can be used. SR 816.111 states (Art. 10 para. 3 EPDV) that communities must ensure that the EPR-SPID number cannot be not stored in document repositories or document registries.

GLN

Each healthcare partner (natural or legal person) is referenced with a unique code of type GLN (former name: EAN code) of the GS1 system. See refdata

UIDB

Unique IDentification Business (UIDB) number (in French, numéro d’IDentification suisse des Enterprises (IDE)) (in German, Schweizer Unternehmens-IDentifikationsnummer (UID)) (in Italian, numero d’IDentificazione svizzero delle Imprese (IDI)) Organizations Covered By System: All Companies/organizations registered in the public Swiss Registers such as the Swiss Register of Commerce, the Value Added Tax (VAT) register, the Social security agencies Registers, Cantons registers, etc., and publish in the UID Register.

ZSR

The ZSR number is issued to self-employed, natural or legal persons (organisations) who can and want to work at the expense of health insurance. See Sasis. German: ZSR (Zahlstellenregister), French: RCC (Registre des codes-créanciers), Italian: RCC (Registro dei codici creditori).
