ORGANISATION IDENTIFIER (CDS SENDER) is the mandatory ORGANISATION IDENTIFIER of the ORGANISATION acting as the physical Sender of Commissioning Data Set submissions.

Usage:
The Commissioning Data Set sender must make sure that the Commissioning Data Set extraction and submission facilities and processes differentiate correctly between:

• ORGANISATION IDENTIFIER (CDS SENDER) as carried in the Commissioning Data Set Transaction Header Group for every Commissioning Data Set,
• and
• ORGANISATION IDENTIFIER (CODE OF PROVIDER) as carried in the Service Agreement details which are part of the Episode/Attendance details.

For further guidance see the Commissioning Data Set Submission Protocol.

CDS SENDER IDENTITY will be replaced with ORGANISATION IDENTIFIER (CDS SENDER), which is the most recent approved national information standard to describe the required definition.
