Logical Model: PN: PersonName (V3 Data Type)

A name for a person. A sequence of name parts, such as given name or family name, prefix, suffix, etc. Examples for person name values are “Jim Bob Walton, Jr.”, “Adam Everyman”, etc. A person name may be as simple as a character string or may consist of several person name parts, such as, “Jim”, “Bob”, “Walton”, and “Jr.”. PN differs from EN because the qualifier type cannot include LS (Legal Status).

Usage:

• Use this Logical Model Profile: Patient (CDA Class), Person (CDA Class), PlayingEntity (CDA Class) and SubjectPerson (CDA Class)
