Creating an Object Identifier (OID) at the MDCH OID Registry instructions describe the process for requesting and receiving an Object Identifier (OID) from the Michigan Department of Community Health OID Registry and—for parent organizations with sub-facilities—assigning OIDs for sub-organizations. The document was created to support users of Michigan public health systems that require OIDs as identifiers.

For single-facility practices where the location of patient treatment is also the sender of the message, the facility/sub-organizational OID may be the same as the Organizational/root OID.
