Hey @akanter,

I recently registered an HL7 OID [2.16.840.1.113883.3.7194](https://www.hl7.org/oid/index.cfm?Comp_OID=2.16.840.1.113883.3.7194) for OpenMRS. Have you registered an HL7 OID for CIEL? If not, would you be interested in getting one? We’re developing a CDA template for Case-Based Reporting and a CIEL OID would be very handy. 🙂

Mmm. I thought we had a one point, but I think that might have been a URI. Seems like we would need a different OID for each CIEL domain rather than just one. However, we can probable start with one. Especially as it costs $100 each. I will investigate further and let you know ASAP.

Cool. There are OIDs for [LOINC](https://www.hl7.org/oid/OID_view.cfm?&Comp_OID=1.3.6.1.4.1.12009.10.2.5), [ICD10](https://www.hl7.org/oid/OID_view.cfm?&Comp_OID=2.16.840.1.113883.6.3), etc. Even a single CIEL OID would help, so we could make CDA references like:

```xml
<code code="164093" codeSystem="2.16.840.1.113883.3.XXXX" displayName="Date of last patient visit" />

```

FYI – I just filled out the application, paid the $100, got a “coupon” via email the next day, and then used the coupon to register the OpenMRS OID. When the registration form is submitted, the OID is assigned and available immediately. I was assuming you might be an HL7 member and be able to get it for less than $100. 🙂

Also FYI, if you register an OID, then that automatically makes you the authority for the subtree (any child values). So, while you may want to _eventually_ have registered OIDs for other aspects of CIEL within HL7’s registry, you could still use them beforehand. For example, let’s say CIEL was assigned OID 2.16.840.1.113883.3.XXXX. You could publish a list of CIEL-related OIDs on the OpenMRS wiki like:

| CIEL | 2.16.840.1.113883.3.XXXX |
| CIEL Foo | 2.16.840.1.113883.3.XXXX.1 |
| CIEL Bar | 2.16.840.1.113883.3.XXXX.2 |
| CIEL Baz | 2.16.840.1.113883.3.XXXX.3 |

For the record, I created an “official” OID summary page on the OpenMRS wiki available via [om.rs/oid](http://om.rs/oid).
