Topic: CAP/CLIA Numbers

Hello - Can you help me with identifying an appropriate location to house CAP and CLIA identifiers for a clinical diagnostic laboratory? It looks like Organization might be the right resource; what would be an appropriate element to include the CAP and CLIA Numbers? Thanks!

see the US Core organization

gives guidance on using CLIA, CAP would be done the same way

Thanks. We will use this profile and additionally include the CAP identifier.

@Andrea Pitkus, PhD, MLS(ASCP)CM wouldn't it be better to include CAP to the list of identifiers as opposed to us including this as an extension?
Andrea Pitkus, PhD, MLS(ASCP)CM, CSM (Apr 30 2020 at 12:04):
Just saw this. Would be preferable to include CAP/CLIA #s in Core if that is what you are asking since most lab testing would have it (or a country specific identifier glboally).
