I work for a health technology company and we use the HL7 and snomed standard codes to identify phone numbers, home addresses, races, ethnicities, etc. I have been looking to no avail for HL7 or snomed standardized codes to define user email types. Is there another standard with codes that identifies types of email?

    You can at least differentiate personal and business email by putting them into the relevant PID field (Phone Number - Home PID/13) and (Phone Number - Business PID/14). Take care of the XTN component 4. – sqlab Jun 06 '18 at 06:56

  • @wintoch, Welcome to Stack Overflow! That site might not be available in the future. In fact, it's not available today for me, since it runs on a non-standard port that is blocked from here. Please take the relevant information, format it into an answer to your own question, and post it here as an Answer.

In PID/13 and PID/14 you can set the second component (Telecommunication Use Code ) to NET meaning Network (email) Address and then add the home eMail adress in PID/13/4 respective business adress in PID/14/4

In the end we used the above Hl7v2 Conmunication standards to generate our own codes. Bellow are the tables we referenced.
