Source: Zuständigkeitsfinder Schleswig-Holstein (Linie6Plus)

Service Description

If you as a healthcare organization, software manufacturer or IT service provider want to exchange data between your software and other software systems in the healthcare sector, you can label these objects with unique object identification numbers.

For standardized software communication in the German healthcare system, you as a healthcare organization, company that produces software or IT service provider can identify your objects for exchange. Unique object identification numbers (OID) are assigned for this purpose.

An OID is a fixed number for identifying objects. These are, for example

  • Organizations,
  • templates,
  • identifiers,
  • coding schemes,
  • value lists or value sets.

An OID is used to uniquely identify information objects for exchange between computer systems. These numbers are assigned because computers are better at dealing with numbers than with non-standardized text.
