Definition: Specifies a person using both an identifier and the person’s name. Retained for backward compatibility only as of v2.6.

Note: Restores the original data type CN as was initially implementable in the CM used in sections 4.5.3.32 and 7.4.1.32 - (OBR-32), 4.5.3.33 and 7.4.1.33 - ( OBR-33), 4.5.3.34 and 7.4.1.34 - ( OBR-34), 4.5.3.35 and 7.4.1.35 - (OBR-35). Components 7 and 8, however, have been promoted to data type IS to be consistent with current practice without violating backward compatibility.


CNN-1: ID Number (ST)

Coded ID according to a user-defined table. If the first component is present, either CNN.8 or CNN.9, or both CNN.10 and CNN.11, must be valued.

CNN-2: Family Name (ST)

This component contains the person's family name in a string format.

CNN-3: Given Name (ST)

Used to specify a first name.

CNN-4: Second and Further Given Names or Initials Thereof (ST)

CNN-5: Suffix (ST)

Used to specify a name suffix (e.g., Jr. or III).

CNN-6: Prefix (ST)

Used to specify a name prefix (e.g., Dr.).

CNN-7: Degree (IS)

Used to specify an educational degree (e.g., MD). Refer to User-defined Table 0360 – Degree/license/certificate in Chapter 2C, Code Tables, for suggested values.

CNN-8: Source Table (IS)

Refer to User-defined Table 0297 - CN ID source in Chapter 2C, Code Tables, for suggested values. Used to delineate the first component. If component 1 is valued, either CNN.8 or CNN.9, or both CNN.10 and CNN.11, must be valued.

CNN-9: Assigning Authority - Namespace ID (IS)

See section, 2.A.14.4, "Assigning Authority (HD)" for definition. Refer to User-defined Table 0363 – Assigning Authority in Chapter 2C, Code Tables, for suggested values. Assigning Authority is normally expressed as an HD data type, but has been flattened to 3 components here (CNN.9, CNN.10 and CNN.11) in this data type so that it may be fully expressed. Also note that if additional components are added to the HD data type in the future, adjustment will need to be made accordingly to this data type.

If component 1 is valued, either CNN.8 or CNN.9, or both CNN.10 and CNN.11, must be valued.

CNN-10: Assigning Authority - Universal ID (ST)

See section, 2.A.14.4, "Assigning Authority (HD)" for definition.

If CNN.11 is valued, this component must be valued. If component 1 is valued, either CNN.8 or CNN.9, or both CNN.10 and CNN.11, must be valued.

CNN-11: Assigning Authority - Universal ID Type (ID)

See section, 2.A.14.4, "Assigning Authority (HD)" for definition. If this component is a known UID refer to HL7 Table 0301 - Universal ID type in Chapter 2C, Code Tables, for valid values.

If CNN.10 is valued, this component must be valued. If component 1 is valued, either CNN.8 or CNN.9, or both CNN.10 and CNN.11, must be valued.
