Additional Contact
Purpose
To know who additionally should be contacted with questions or clinical results and how they should be contacted.
Notes
Mapped to an extension on the ServiceRequest, in review.
It is expected that practitioner and organization details will be referenced from PractitionerRole resources (e.g. using ODS/SDS identifiers) rather than be included as FHIR resources within Test Request payloads, though the full FHIR mapping has been provided below for completeness.
