Re: [Care2002-developers] Global PID

Fri, 12 Mar 2004 07:15:31 -0800

As Atul points out, several countries and even municipalities are already developing or are already using different smart card technologies that include various forms of unique PID's. Getting all these political entities on the same page using a Global PID opens a big can of die W�rmer. And what about wide spread indigenous peoples who may have different ideas about what date or place of birth means. Also geo-political boundaries are in flux in many parts of the world. Cultural and political differences make it very difficult to come up with PID that has some kind of universal mean to everyone.

Having the ability to interface with these schemes and be able to handle patients without a pre-established PID would be best.

Dear Elpidio Latorilla,

Great idea.

However, let a person's identity be not connected with the hospital (hope not the hospital of birth).
Following the telephone nos example is a good one.
We must not make things complicated. A very large number of countries are planning to have citizen's identity card with a unique number for each citizen. We in India, are thinking of such a scheme. The id cards will be smartcards and you may be able to use them as auto id etc in C2X.
Hope we will have a smartcard interface in C2X.
