Utilize at least 2 identifiers that are specific to the patient before administering medication.
We add that further annotation with primary identifiers in databases that are specific to the reconstructed organism is also advisable, e.g., the Human Metabolome Database (HMDB) [14, 15] for human metabolic reconstructions.
When a generic supply of medication is introduced into the in-house pharmacy inventory, administrative staff may not code new identifier records in the formulary that are specific to the generic.
Its role is to translate the unique identifier assigned to each person by the Population Register into a separate unique identifier which is specific to both each person and to each of the Disease Registers which participate in the system.

This unique identifier number was specific to this study, and not the standard encrypted NHI number regularly provided with Ministry of Health data, so that there was no possibility address data could be combined with routinely released hospitalisation data, or be used in any other context.
According to the privacy rule [ 7], individuals with rare or uncommon diagnoses or conditions may be identifiable even when the 18 specific patient identifiers are removed [ 7] and therefore information about individuals with such rare conditions should be considered PHI.
If other repositories deployed instances of DataUp, the identifier schema would be specific to their existing system.
In general, we say that two identifiers are 'synonymous', according to a specific authority, when the authority assigns them to its same internal identifier.
For these, the specific patient identifiers are separated from the other information about the specimen, as well as research data derived from the specimen, such that no immediate link can be made with the patient.
