1. INTRODUCTION The two major categories of standards targeted by the Health Information Standards Committee of Alberta (HISCA) for definition and adoption are:

- Health Information Standards; and - Health Technology Standards.

Under the Health Information Standards category, data standards are defined from two perspectives:

- Data Administration (Data Dictionary) Standards.

This level of standard deals with fundamental properties of data elements, and focuses on definition, information exchange format, and use of the data element.

- Data Architecture (Modelling) Standards.

This level of standard builds upon the basic definition and properties of the data elements as defined at the data administration level. It extends their use in the context of standard applications (modelling requirements) and standard data groupings/collections (data sets).

The standards described in this document are of the data administration type, dealing with the definition of data elements as they relate to the health business.

The purpose of this document is to define standards for stakeholder demographic data elements. The elements included in this standard are those required to identify, locate, or communicate with stakeholders (persons and organizations). These data element standards are focused more on person-specific information, with less emphasis for now on organization-specific information.

The definitions, formats and use of the data elements described in this document were gathered by reviewing provincial, national and international health information standards. These include HL7, BC Health Information Council Standards, Saskatchewan Health Information Standards Council, CIHI Health Information Framework, Government of Alberta Data Standards Sub-Committee (ADSS) data standards and the International Standards Organization (ISO). Key stakeholder organizations were then surveyed to obtain feedback on the standards, including the Alberta Health Authorities, health professional organizations, Alberta Wellnet, and business areas within Alberta Health and Wellness.

There are several other stakeholder demographic data elements that have not been included in this current list of elements, but are candidates for future standards definition efforts. Some of these elements are for eligibility purposes and others are for additional information relevant to the health system but not required for identifying, locating or communicating with a stakeholder, for example Ethnicity.

This document is divided into the following sections:

1. Introduction This section provides a brief description of the purpose and contents of the document.

2. Justification This section discusses the results of the literature search, the business case for the proposed standard, the impact on privacy, confidentiality, and security, the relationship to existing standards and/or legislation, and the summary of stakeholder consultation.

3. Data Models Conceptual and logical data models are included to provide context for the data elements defined in this document.

4. List of Data Elements. The stakeholder demographic data elements for which standards are proposed are categorized and listed in this section.

5. Stakeholder Demographic Data Standards This section includes the data elements detailed in the standard template.

Status: Approved Page 2 of 95 Alberta Health and Wellness Amended Date: 2003-Nov-24 Stakeholder Demographic Data Standard

2. JUSTIFICATION Results of Literature Review Standards work from various jurisdictions were considered in the development of this standard. The Government of Alberta has a set of data standards that were reviewed for alignment. Both British Columbia and Saskatchewan, have initiated work to address a fully structured address that is Canada Post compliant. However neither standard has been implemented and therefore there was no complete solution to standardizing address attributes at the atomic data element level. The Pan-Canadian Client Registry Messaging Specification for the Canadian Institute for Health Information was considered for alignment wherever possible.

Business Case for the Health System Once approved, this standard will be applied to the Alberta Health and Wellness central repository/directory for person information. All other applications will use the standard when exchanging demographic data with the repository. This standard may also be applied wherever stakeholder information is being collected, stored, or exchanged.

Impact on Privacy, Confidentiality, and Security At this time, a PIA is not required. This standard sets the stage for a common opportunity to share information between custodians and affiliates. A PIA would be required for the custodians and affiliates that do wish to exchange stakeholder information between applications.

The Health Information Act (HIA) is the primary legislation for prescribing the rules for the collection, use and disclosure of stakeholder registration information between custodians. Additional related legislation is contained in the Alberta Health Care Insurance Act (AHCIA), the Health Insurance Premiums Act and the Freedom of Information and Protection Act (FOIPP). All requests to collect, use and disclose identifiable stakeholder information through the Alberta Health and Wellness central repository/directory, must be reviewed and authorized by the Customer Services and Registration Branch Director.

Relationship to Existing Standards and/or Legislation This standard is meant to be to an enhanced version of the originally approved standards approved in December 1999. Standards from Saskatchewan and British Columbia were reviewed. As well, standards from the Health Authorities and the Canadian Institute for Health Information were consulted. Where possible, attempts were made to align with the Government of Alberta data standards and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Permission to reproduce columns 1-4 from ISO 3166-1 and columns 1& 4 from ISO 639/2 was granted by IHS Canada, the official representative for the Standards Council of Canada, the International Organization for Standardization member body in Canada. No further reproduction is allowed, without prior written confirmation from IHS Canada at 240Catherine Street, Ste 305, Ottawa Ontario, K2P 2G8.

Summary of Stakeholder Consultation The CIO of Alberta Health and Wellness originally approved the Stakeholder Basic Demographic Data Standard in December of 1999. The standardization process for HISCA includes an annual review of approved standards. In November of 2000 feedback was consolidated into a draft document. In November of 2001 the Provincial Person Health Identifier (PPHI) Project was initiated. The review of the stakeholder standard was extended to allow for an extensive consultation with the Health Authorities and Boards, Alberta Wellnet, the Alberta Data Standards Subcommittee, key business areas within Alberta Health and Wellness, and national bodies such as the Canadian Institute for Health Information. The purpose of the review was not to re-design the standard but to update key attributes.

Stakeholder Identification Information

Cluster Name: Stakeholder Identification Information Version: 1 Status: Current Date Revised: Standard Category: Information Standard Accepted(A)/Rejected(R): A Standard Sub-Category: Data Standard Date Adopted/Rejected December 2, 2002 Component Elements: • Stakeholder ID • Person Information • Organization Information

Requirement for Standard:

Status: Approved Page 12 of 95 Alberta Health and Wellness Amended Date: 2003-Nov-24 Stakeholder Demographic Data Standard

Compound Element Name: Stakeholder ID Cluster Name: Stakeholder Identification Information Version: 1 Status: Current Date Revised: Standard Category: Information Standard Adopted[A]/Rejected[R]: A Standard Sub-category: Data Standard Date Adopted/Rejected: December 2, 2002 Definition: Provides a structure of the unique identifier for a particular stakeholder.

Requirement for Standard: A unique identifier, along with a unique combination of ID Type + ID Domain provides the ability to uniquely identify stakeholders within the health system. The assigning authority identifies the issuer of the identifier.

These data elements provide the standard information required for stakeholder identification. No matter what type of id is assigned, the standard is the same. ID Types apply to a person, organization or to a person or organization in a specific role. Business rules are used to identify the type of object to which an ID Type can be assigned.

The value of the assigning authority can be changed without affecting the other elements of the ID. This ID structure provides the ability for applications to assign/restrict security permissions at various levels. Examples: ID Type ID Domain ID Assigning Authority

DL ABDL Alberta Driver’s License ABREG Alberta Registries PHN ABPHN Alberta Personal Health Number ABH Alberta Health & Wellness PHN ONPHN Ontario PHN ONH Ontario Health HAID AHA Alberta Health Authority # ABGOV Government of Alberta TPIP ABC Alberta Blue Cross Number ABC Alberta Blue Cross

Compound Elements: • Stakeholder ID Type • Stakeholder ID Domain • Stakeholder Assigning Authority • Stakeholder Identifier

Business Rules/Coding Guidelines: All four component elements should be used to ensure uniqueness of an identifier.

Development Notes: Developed to provide context around an identifier for instances where identifiers are repeating although assigned by different bodies while having a different context.

Element Name: Stakeholder ID Type Cluster Name: Stakeholder Identification Information Version: 1 Status: Current Date Revised: Standard Category: Information Standard Adopted[A]/Rejected[R]: A Standard Sub-category: Data Standard Date Adopted/Rejected: December 2, 2002

Definition: This is a code that represents the kind of identification (ID) scheme for the identifier.

Information Exchange Format: C4 Presentation/Display Format:

Valid Values: (examples) CF Canadian Armed Forces DL Driver’s License FP Federal Penitentiary HAID Health Authority Identifier PHN Provincial Health Number RCMP RCMP Regiment Number SIN Social Insurance Number (Canadian) TPIP Third Party Insurance Plan TRTY Treaty Number VAC Veterans Affairs Canada WCB Workers Compensation Board ULI Unique Lifetime Identifier

Business Rules / Coding Guidelines: Business rules are used to identify the object (Person or Organization) to which an ID Type can be assigned. For example, ‘HAID’ is the ID Type representing Health Authority Numbers and would not be assigned to a person.

Each ID Type will have its own set of business rules. Example: ULI (N9) The ULI (Unique Lifetime Identifier) is a unique and permanent number assigned as an internal identifier by Alberta Health and Wellness to all stakeholders of interest to the health system in Alberta. There are two types of stakeholders recognized in the health system. These are: Stakeholder PERSON - a human being, alive or not, of interest to the health system, and Stakeholder GROUP - a collection of people, formal or informal, with distinct characteristics of interest in common. The collection may be comprised of zero or more people. Organization is a type of Group.

Implementation Considerations: The ID Type is required to correctly interpret, validate and use identifiers. Development Notes:

Business Rules / Coding Guidelines: Each domain will have its own set of business rules for the identifiers.

Implementation Considerations: The ID Domain is required to correctly interpret, validate and use identifiers.

Development Notes: The labels (names) of the provincial health identifiers were taken from the Canadian Institute for Health Information Discharge Abstract Database Abstracting Manual.

Business Rules / Coding Guidelines: The ID Assigning Authority is required to correctly interpret, validate and use identifiers Optional Implementation Considerations: The ID Assigning authority is not required for the exchange of information as the ID Type, ID Domain and the Identifier are sufficient for unique identification. It has been included here because the use of this element when implementing the ID structure can improve the flexibility of the structure. For example, the organization responsible for assigning a specific domain of Ids might change, without affecting the ID Type or ID Domain.

This is usually an organization that has been mandated to issue the specific ID Domain for the specific ID Type. Development Notes:

Business Rules / Coding Guidelines: ULI N9 PHN (C15) The PHN (Provincial Health Number) is the identifier assigned by the provincial health jurisdictions for identification within their health systems. For Alberta, PHNs are the subset of ULIs that have been assigned to stakeholder persons upon registration and presumes eligibility for basic health services as defined in the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan. Different provinces have different algorithms for assigning identifiers. The format for the individual PHNs are as follows: Province/Territory Valid Values Alberta 9 digit PHN British Columbia 10 digit PHN (12 for Newborns) Manitoba 6 digit Manitoba Health Registration Number New Brunswick 9 digit Medicare Number Newfoundland & Labrador 12 digit Medical Services Insurance Northwest Territories 8 digit Health Care Number (1 alpha and 7 numeric) Nova Scotia 10 digit Medical Services Insurance Nunavut 9 digit Health Care Number Ontario 10 digit Health Care Number (12 digit with the version code) Prince Edward Island 8 digit Health Care Number Quebec 12 digit Health Care Number (4 alpha plus 8 numeric) Saskatchewan 9 digit Health Services Number Yukon Territory 9 digit Health Care Number (Yukon health care numbers begin with 002) RCMP 5 digit number, RCMP Regiment Number is a unique and permanent number assigned by the RCMP to all serving members and is retained by the member throughout their career. When the member leaves the RCMP, the Regiment Number is not re-issued.

Compound Element Name: Person Name Cluster Name: Person Information Version: 2 Status: Current Standard Category: Information Standard Date Revised: Standard Sub-category: Data Standard Adopted[A]/Rejected[R]: A Date Adopted/Rejected: December 2, 2002 Definition: The label by which a person is known and communicated with. Requirement for Standard: Accurate name information is a key requirement in any service-oriented business operation and for the most part can be used to uniquely identify a person. Where common descriptors are applicable table lookups assure uniform usage of descriptors. Component Elements: • Person Name Type • Prefix • Last Name • Given Name • Middle Name • Suffix • Designation Business Rules / Coding Guidelines: Naming conventions should follow the Vital Statistics name registration guidelines. Development Notes: ‘Given’ is being proposed in place of ‘First’ to conform to HL7 standard nomenclature.

‘Last’ is being proposed as opposed to HL7’s nomenclature of ‘Family’ because the term ‘family’ conveys a meaning not intended to be conveyed by a person’s last name or surname.

The Canada Post addressing standard does not limit the length of the name.

Information Exchange Format: C4

Presentation/Display Format: AAAA Valid Values: A person may be known by more than one name at the same time or over time. The various person name types include:

ALIS Alias - A personal name which an individual is using or has used.

PREF Preferred Name - The name a person prefers to use in communicating with other health system stakeholders.

LEGL Legal Name – The person’s name as legally recognized by the province.

PROF Professional Name - The professional name that is used by a person.

MADN Maiden Name – The name that an individual was born with, and has given up for a married name.

Business Rules / Coding Guidelines: Particular business areas may not require the entire list of name types. However, when using any of the specified name types, the business rules for applying the values must be consistent across business areas.

A stakeholder can have more than one name. This code differentiates between the different names associated with a stakeholder.

Implementation Considerations: Either the preferred or professional name would be used depending on business context and business unit.

An alias is a personal name recorded for an individual that is not supported by legal documents. An alias may be common or short forms of a documented name, e.g. a person with the documented name of “James Robert Brown” may prefer the name “Robert Brown.” However, if this person is also known as “Rob Brown” or “Bob Brown” these names may be recorded as aliases.

A preferred name is one that the individual uses or is most commonly known by, which may not be supported with documentation.

A legal name is a name on a birth registration issued by a province or territory of Canada, or another state or country; an elected surname as prescribed under legislation; a certificate of Canadian citizenship or immigration documents issued by Citizenship and Immigration (Canada); or, a Change of Name certificate issued by a province or territory of Canada. An individual can only have one valid legal name at any given time.

Development Notes: Name Type has been included as an explicit atomic data element rather than business rule.

In order to facilitate accurate and consistent interchange of information, Health Information Standards Committee for Alberta (HISCA) attempts to standardize the possible values for the prefix that may be associated with an individual. For this reason, HISCA supplies a list of standardized abbreviations that should be used when any of the prefixes applies. This list of abbreviations is not exhaustive and where it is insufficient, an abbreviation of the stakeholder’s choice can be entered. If a prefix is found to be used with some frequency, the abbreviation may then be submitted to the HISCA for inclusion in the standard.

Implementation Considerations: Where common descriptors are applicable table lookups assure uniform usage of the descriptor. Applicable Prefix values would be selected from, or validated against the table prior to insertion in the Person Name element.

Development Notes: Increased to C5 to align with Government of Alberta data standards for Prefix.

The Prefix Table is an expanded version of the Government of Alberta data standards and the table maintained by Public Affairs Bureau. Abbreviations and common display formats follow the guidelines in 1999 edition of “The Canadian Press Stylebook” by Patti Tasko, published by The Canadian Press.

Health Information Standards Committee for Alberta (HISCA) standardises the Short Suffix format, the abbreviated version of the lineage.

In order to facilitate accurate and consistent interchange of information, HISCA attempts to standardize the possible values for the suffix that may be associated with an individual. For this reason, HISCA supplies a list of standardized abbreviations that should be used when any of the suffixes applies. This list of abbreviations is not exhaustive and where it is insufficient, an abbreviation of the stakeholder’s choice can be entered. If a suffix is found to be used with some frequency, the abbreviation may then be submitted to HISCA for inclusion in the standard.

Implementation Considerations: Applicable Suffix values would be selected from, or validated against the table prior to insertion in the Person Name element.

Development Notes: Suffix is being proposed as a separate name field in this document to support the ability to retrieve all members of a particular Last Name even though there may be variations of name suffix in the family.

The Designation valid values are an expansion of a table maintained by Public Affairs Bureau. Abbreviations and common display formats follow the guidelines in 1999 edition of “The Canadian Press Stylebook” by Patti Tasko, published by The Canadian Press.

HISCA standardizes on the Short Designation of the Government of Alberta data standards. The Short Designation is the abbreviated version of the education and / or profession designation. Multiple Designations may be applicable to one individual.

In order to facilitate accurate and consistent interchange of information, the Health Information Standards Committee for Alberta (HISCA) attempts to standardize the possible values for the designations that may be associated with an individual. For this reason, HISCA supplies a list of standardized abbreviations that should be used when any of the designations apply. This list of abbreviations is not exhaustive and where it is insufficient, an abbreviation of the stakeholder’s choice can be entered.

Information Exchange Format: C1

Presentation/Display Format: A Valid Values: Valid codes for a gender are:

F - Female M - Male O - Other U - Unknown

Business Rules / Coding Guidelines: The ‘Other’ value refers to those cases where gender is known, but the Male or Female values do not apply. For example, a Hermaphrodite can not clearly be recorded as male or female, yet ‘Unknown’ does not apply.

The ‘Unknown’ value applies to cases where a gender value has not been obtained.

Implementation Considerations: Systems that are external to Alberta Health and Wellness need not implement all four possible values defined for Gender, as long as the value for each gender code in any data / report to be exchanged takes on one of the four defined above. All internal Alberta Health and Wellness applications must implement all four possible values.

Compound Element Name Mailing Address Compound Name: Stakeholder Communication Information Version: 1 Status: Current Standard Category: Information Standard Date Revised: Standard Sub-category: Data Standard Adopted [A]/Rejected[R]: A Date Adopted/Rejected: December 2, 2002 Definition: Mailing address is the location at which a person or organization receives mail. Component Elements: • Address Usage • Addressee Information • Extra Address Information • Civic Address • Delivery Installation Address • Municipality • Canada Post Delivery Centre • Province/State Code • Postal Code • Foreign Postal Code • Country Name • Country Code Business Rules / Coding Guidelines: In order to reduce the amount of mail that could not be delivered due to incorrect or unintelligible addresses, Canada Post Corporation developed the Canadian Addressing Standard. This is defined for all addresses used for mail delivery, and is incorporated into several software packages that provide address look-up and validation. Two different delivery address formats are used: the civic address format (which contains a street number and name) and the delivery installation address format (any address that is not a civic address). A civic address contains a street number and street name. Canada Post does not consider the recipient in the sorting of mail and is addressed in this standard under the Person Name cluster.

A Canadian mailing address consists of (in order from top to bottom): Mailer Recipient (not included as part of the address for Canada Post processing) Additional Delivery Information; [[Addressee Information] [Extra Address Information]] Delivery Address (Civic or Delivery Installation Addresses); [] [] [ [] [] []] [ [] [] [] [] []]

Note: The Delivery Address may also be a combination of Civic and Delivery Installation addresses. For example, a Rural Route address may have both a street information and rural route information. Canada Post has a number of acceptable formats for arranging address information on a label for a mailer.

Municipality, Province and Postal Code (or, Canada Post Delivery Centre, State, Foreign Postal Code for addresses outside of Canada); and, [][],[][] [][] Country Name (for addresses outside of Canada). [] (optionality of components is indicated by square brackets)

Canadian mailing addresses that originate in Canada to a Canadian address do not require the Country. Development Notes: These data elements are based on the work done by Saskatchewan’s HISC (Location / Place Identifier Standard Version 0.2 Correspondence Address), HealthNet/BC (Address standard, January 1997), and the Alberta Health and Wellness Delivery Site / Facility ID initiative.

Business Rules / Coding Guidelines: The ISO 3166 standard contains a list of country names and corresponding 2-character alphabetic, 3- character alphabetic and 3-digit numeric identifiers.

The Canada Postal Standards Manual states that for all international outgoing mail, the name of the country of designation must be placed on the last line by itself and should be in capital letters.

Example: COUNTRY

Implementation Considerations: The following three values have been defined as part of the ISO local use codes under Section 8.1.3 of the ISO 3166-1 standard.

Description 2-alpha 3-alpha 3-digit Missing XZ XZZ 999 Other XW XXW 997 Unknown XX XXX 998

These codes should be considered for data entry and data analysis. If an individual is asked the question and can't or won't answer, it should be coded as 'Unknown'. If the question was accidentally skipped, it should be coded as missing. When analyzing data these values are usually treated the same, but it is helpful to make the distinction when evaluating data completeness and accuracy of entry.

Development Notes: Country in Canada Post’s Canadian Addressing Guide. A length of 40 characters is consistent with the maximum allowable characters per line in an address according to the Canada Post standard.

Requirement for Standard: Phone is the main medium of communication with stakeholders/clients of the health system. This underscores the need for standardizing the phone format specification for data exchange purposes.

Component Elements: • Telecom Type • Telecom Usage • Country Dial Code • Area Code • Local Telecom Number • Extension Number

Business Rules / Coding Guidelines: Telecom is often referred to as phone. Implementation Considerations:

Development Notes: Replaces Phone from the HISCA Stakeholder Basic Demographic Standard, December 1999.

A composite of Alberta Health and Wellness and HL7 formats is being proposed as standards, as follows: - A country dial code is to be explicitly specified as called for in HL7 format. - For international calls, the phone book states that the country dial code can be up to 3 digits, the area code (routing code) up to 5 digits, and the local number up to 9 digits (max 17). However, telephone exchanges are only capable of using a 15 digit packet. The county/area/local combinations cannot exceed 15. 15 is expected to be the maximum for 5+ years. - It is predicted that North America will run out of phone numbers within 5 years. Consideration is being given to increasing the area code to 4 digits from 3 and increasing the first part of a telephone number (e.g. 422 in 422-1776) from 3 digits to 4 digits.

A country dial code is used to reach the particular telephone system for each nation (or each special service such as INMARSAT). An area code (routing code) is used within many nations to route calls to a particular city, region or special service. The local number is the specific telephone number to be dialed.

The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) is the global organization responsible for telecommunications standards, including the assignment of telecommunications zone code. Their Operational Bulletin lists changes to national telephone numbering formats in the "Telephone Service" chapter. However, current editions of the Bulletin are only available on the paying service, and not available for general web access.

Recommendations were taken from the Industry Numbering Committee (INC) Recommended Plan for Expanding the Capacity of the North American Number Plan (INC 02-0107-029) dated November 13, 2002.
