ORGANISATION IDENTIFIER (RESIDENCE RESPONSIBILITY)

ORGANISATION IDENTIFIER (RESIDENCE RESPONSIBILITY)  is the same as attribute ORGANISATION IDENTIFIER.

ORGANISATION IDENTIFIER (RESIDENCE RESPONSIBILITY) is the ORGANISATION IDENTIFIER  derived from the PATIENT's POSTCODE OF USUAL ADDRESS, where they reside within the boundary of a:

• Clinical Commissioning Group
• Care Trust
• Local Health Board (Wales)
• Scottish Health Board
• Northern Ireland Local Commissioning Group
• Primary Healthcare Directorate (Isle of Man)
• Local Authority

  .

For PATIENTS  who are Overseas Visitors: Organisation Data Service Default Code X98 'Primary Care Organisation Not Applicable ( Overseas Visitors )' should be reported. Note: A review of Organisation Data Service Default Codes  is planned to be carried out and this default code will be updated as part of that.

For the purposes of sending Commissioning Data Set messages to the Secondary Uses Service (regardless of how local systems hold the data), it is essential at present to continue using a 3 character field, using the first 3 characters of the  ORGANISATION IDENTIFIER (RESIDENCE RESPONSIBILITY)  and following the same update rules relating to Prime Recipient as are currently in place. This is necessary, primarily to preserve the integrity of the current Commissioning Data Set message and the  CDS PRIME RECIPIENT IDENTITY which is derived from the  ORGANISATION IDENTIFIER (RESIDENCE RESPONSIBILITY).

ORGANISATION CODE (RESIDENCE RESPONSIBILITY)  will be replaced with ORGANISATION IDENTIFIER (RESIDENCE RESPONSIBILITY),which is the most recent approved national information standard to describe the required definition.
