Note: This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion). It is best practice for the identifier to only appear on a single resource instance, however business practices may occasionally dictate that multiple resource instances with the same identifier can exist - possibly even with different resource types. For example, multiple Patient and a Person resource instance might share the same social insurance number.

TypeIdentifier
Summaryfalse
Comments

Necessary to support mandatory requirements for traceability from donor/source to recipient and vice versa, while also satisfying donor anonymity requirements. The element is defined consistently across BiologicallyDerivedProduct, NutritionProduct, and Device. The identifier references an event that links to a single biological entity such as a blood donor, or to multiple biological entities (e.g. when the product is an embryo or a pooled platelet product). A single biologicalSourceEvent identifier may appear on multiple products of many types derived from a single donation event or source extraction. As an example, a single donation event may provide 2 kidneys and a liver for organ transplantation, 2 corneas for eye surgery, heart valves and arterial tissue for cardiovascular surgery, multiple skin grafts, tendons, multiple shaped bone grafts and a large number of bone putty/paste products; and each of them may be assigned to the same biological source event identifier.
