Organization episode of care unique identifier

Organization EOC unique ID

Definition

  • The organization episode of care identifier is the unique alphanumeric identifier assigned by a healthcare provider to a given patient for a specific episode of care. An episode of care begins with the initial visit for care for a particular problem and ends when the patient is no longer continuing treatment for that problem. One episode of care can include just one visit or many visits, depending on how long it takes for the problem to resolve. If the patient seeks care for a different problem in the future, a new episode of care identifier will be assigned.
