Practitioner

General information

See HL7 Practitioner for general information regarding the Practitioner resource.

Scope and Usage

This profile is used for individuals working or with the qualification to work in the healthcare and social services sector. Competencies, licenses and other qualifications are expressed in the qualification element.

Extensions for being able to express address lines as well as country in a structured way have been provided in the Address profile, as profiled by the European base profiles.

This guide defines a profile for HumanName that includes the nameQualifier extension on the name.given element. It can be used to mark the supplied given name(s) as what the patient is called by, as well as a middleName extension.

Boundaries and Relationships

Note that the Practitioner resource does not contain a connection to the workplace of the practitioner. It is used for expressing information irrelevant of workplace. Hence the telecom element should only be used for the practitioner's contact information that is not organization dependent. For use cases where this relationship is needed, the PractitionerRole resource should be used.

Background and Context

An individual with a license to perform healthcare related tasks can do so without being currently employed at a healthcare provider. Since the license, along with other qualifications and comptencies, belong to the individual, it is necessary to distinguish the practitioner from any employments the practitioner might have. A Practitioner should be interpreted as a person that can have qualifications. The PractitionerRole profile should be used to express a position the practitioner holds or has held as an employee at a certain healthcare provider.

id	Σ	0..1	id	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Practitioner.id Short description Logical id of this artifact Definition The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes. Comments Within the context of the FHIR RESTful interactions, the resource has an id except for cases like the create and conditional update. Otherwise, the use of the resouce id depends on the given use case. Data type id Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a
meta	Σ	0..1	Meta	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Practitioner.meta Short description Metadata about the resource Definition The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

implicitRules	Σ ?!	0..1	uri	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Practitioner.implicitRules Short description A set of rules under which this content was created Definition A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc. Comments Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of its narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc. Data type uri Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a
language		0..1	codeBinding	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Practitioner.language Short description Language of the resource content Definition The base language in which the resource is written. Comments Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute). Data type code Binding IETF language tag for a human language AllLanguages (required) Additional bindings CommonLanguages (starter) Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a
text	C	0..1	Narrative	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Practitioner.text Short description Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation Alternate names narrative, html, xhtml, display Definition A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety. Comments Contained resources do not have a narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later. Data type Narrative Conditions The cardinality or value of this element may be affected by these constraints: dom-6 Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a rim: N/A rim: Act.text?
contained	C	0..*	Resource	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Practitioner.contained Short description Contained, inline Resources Alternate names inline resources, anonymous resources, contained resources Definition These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, nor can they have their own independent transaction scope. This is allowed to be a Parameters resource if and only if it is referenced by a resource that provides context/meaning. Comments This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags in their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels. Data type Resource Conditions The cardinality or value of this element may be affected by these constraints: dom-2, dom-4, dom-3, dom-5 Mappings rim: n/a rim: Entity. Role, or Act rim: N/A
extension	C	0..*	Extension	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Practitioner.extension Short description Additional content defined by implementations Alternate names extensions, user content Definition May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Comments There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone. Data type Extension Slicing Unordered, Open, by url(Value) Extensions are always sliced by (at least) url Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both `extension.exists() != value.exists()` Mappings rim: n/a rim: N/A
modifierExtension	Σ ?! C	0..*	Extension	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Practitioner.modifierExtension Short description Extensions that cannot be ignored Alternate names extensions, user content Definition May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself). Requirements Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions. Comments There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions.

identifier	S Σ C	1..1	Identifier	Element id Practitioner.identifier Short description An identifier for the person as this agent Definition An identifier that applies to this person in this role. Requirements Often, specific identities are assigned for the agent.

It SHOULD not be used for codes that correspond 1..1 with the Identifier.system. Some identifiers may fall into multiple categories due to common usage. Where the system is known, a type is unnecessary because the type is always part of the system definition. However systems often need to handle identifiers where the system is not known.

Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself). Requirements Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

Requirements Allows users to make use of identifiers when the identifier system is not known. Comments This element deals only with general categories of identifiers. It SHOULD not be used for codes that correspond 1..1 with the Identifier.system. Some identifiers may fall into multiple categories due to common usage. Where the system is known, a type is unnecessary because the type is always part of the system definition. However systems often need to handle identifiers where the system is not known. There is not a 1:1 relationship between type and system, since many different systems have the same type.

Comments	Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element.

Requirements	Allows users to make use of identifiers when the identifier system is not known.
Comments	This element deals only with general categories of identifiers. It SHOULD not be used for codes that correspond 1..1 with the Identifier.system. Some identifiers may fall into multiple categories due to common usage. Where the system is known, a type is unnecessary because the type is always part of the system definition. However systems often need to handle identifiers where the system is not known. There is not a 1:1 relationship between type and system, since many different systems have the same type.

Cardinality	0..1
Type	string
Conditions	The cardinality or value of this element may be affected by these constraints: ele-1
Mappings	rim: n/a
Practitioner.qualification.period.extension
Short	Additional content defined by implementations
Definition	May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.
Cardinality	0..*
Type	Extension
Alias	extensions, user content
Comments	There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.
Slicing	Unordered, Open, by url(Value) Extensions are always sliced by (at least) url
Constraints	ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both `extension.exists() != value.exists()`
Mappings	rim: n/a rim: N/A
Practitioner.qualification.period.start
Short	Starting time with inclusive boundary
Definition	The start of the period. The boundary is inclusive.
Cardinality	1..1
Type	dateTime
Must Support	True
Summary	True
Comments	If the low element is missing, the meaning is that the low boundary is not known.
Conditions	The cardinality or value of this element may be affected by these constraints: per-1
Constraints	ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`
Mappings	rim: n/a v2: DR.1 rim: ./low
Practitioner.qualification.period.end
Short	End time with inclusive boundary, if not ongoing
Definition	The end of the period. If the end of the period is missing, it means no end was known or planned at the time the instance was created. The start may be in the past, and the end date in the future, which means that period is expected/planned to end at that time.
Cardinality	0..1
Type	dateTime
Must Support	True
Summary	True
Comments	The end value includes any matching date/time. i.e. 2012-02-03T10:00:00 is in a period that has an end value of 2012-02-03.
Meaning when missing	If the end of the period is missing, it means that the period is ongoing
Conditions	The cardinality or value of this element may be affected by these constraints: per-1
Constraints	ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`
Mappings	rim: n/a v2: DR.2 rim: ./high
Practitioner.qualification.issuer
Short	Organization that regulates and issues the qualification
Definition	Organization that regulates and issues the qualification.
Cardinality	0..1
Type	Reference(Organization)
Comments	References SHALL be a reference to an actual FHIR resource, and SHALL be resolvable (allowing for access control, temporary unavailability, etc.). Resolution can be either by retrieval from the URL, or, where applicable by resource type, by treating an absolute reference as a canonical URL and looking it up in a local registry/repository.
Constraints	ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` ref-1: SHALL have a contained resource if a local reference is provided `reference.exists() implies (reference.startsWith('#').not() or (reference.substring(1).trace('url') in %rootResource.contained.id.trace('ids')) or (reference='#' and %rootResource!=%resource))` ref-2: At least one of reference, identifier and display SHALL be present (unless an extension is provided). `reference.exists() or identifier.exists() or display.exists() or extension.exists()`
Mappings	rim: n/a rim: The target of a resource reference is a RIM entry point (Act, Role, or Entity) rim: .playingEntity.playingRole[classCode=QUAL].scoper
Practitioner.communication
Short	A language which may be used to communicate with the practitioner
Definition	A language which may be used to communicate with the practitioner, often for correspondence/administrative purposes. The `PractitionerRole.communication` property should be used for publishing the languages that a practitioner is able to communicate with patients (on a per Organization/Role basis).
Cardinality	0..*
Type	BackboneElement
Comments	If no language is specified, this implies that the default local language is spoken. If you need to convey proficiency for multiple modes, then you need multiple Practitioner.Communication associations. For animals, language is not a relevant field, and should be absent from the instance.
Constraints	ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`
Mappings	rim: n/a rim: LanguageCommunication
Practitioner.communication.id
Short	Unique id for inter-element referencing
Definition	Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.
Cardinality	0..1
Type	string
Conditions	The cardinality or value of this element may be affected by these constraints: ele-1
Mappings	rim: n/a
Practitioner.communication.extension
Short	Additional content defined by implementations
Definition	May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

Mappings	rim: n/a rim: N/A
Practitioner.communication.modifierExtension
Short	Extensions that cannot be ignored even if unrecognized
Definition	May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).
Cardinality	0..*
Type	Extension
Modifier	True
Summary	True
Alias	extensions, user content, modifiers
Requirements	Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.
Comments	There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.
Constraints	ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both `extension.exists() != value.exists()`
Mappings	rim: n/a rim: N/A
Practitioner.communication.language
Short	The language code used to communicate with the practitioner
Definition	The ISO-639-1 alpha 2 code in lower case for the language, optionally followed by a hyphen and the ISO-3166-1 alpha 2 code for the region in upper case; e.g. "en" for English, or "en-US" for American English versus "en-AU" for Australian English.
Cardinality	1..1
Type	CodeableConcept
Binding	IETF language tag for a human language AllLanguages (required) Additional bindings CommonLanguages (starter)
Requirements	Most systems in multilingual countries will want to convey language. Not all systems actually need the regional dialect.
Comments	The structure aa-BB with this exact casing is one the most widely used notations for locale. However not all systems actually code this but instead have it as free text. Hence CodeableConcept instead of code as the data type.
Constraints	ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`
Mappings	rim: n/a v2: CE/CNE/CWE rim: CD orim: fhir:CodeableConcept rdfs:subClassOf dt:CD v2: PID-15, LAN-2 rim: player[classCode=PSN\|ANM and determinerCode=INSTANCE]/languageCommunication/code
Practitioner.communication.preferred
Short	Language preference indicator
Definition	Indicates whether or not the person prefers this language (over other languages he masters up a certain level).
Cardinality	0..1
Type	boolean
Requirements	People that master multiple languages up to certain level may prefer one or more, i.e. feel more confident in communicating in a particular language making other languages sort of a fall back method.
Comments	This language is specifically identified for communicating directly with the practitioner (typically un-related to patient communications).
Constraints	ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`

Comments The rules of the identifier.type determine if a check digit is part of the ID value or sent separately, such as through the checkDigit extension. Data type Identifier Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` ident-1: Identifier with no value has limited utility. If communicating that an identifier value has been suppressed or missing, the value element SHOULD be present with an extension indicating the missing semantic - e.g. data-absent-reason `value.exists()` Mappings rim: n/a v2: CX / EI (occasionally, more often EI maps to a resource id or a URL) rim: II - The Identifier class is a little looser than the v3 type II because it allows URIs as well as registered OIDs or GUIDs.
