Profile: Practitioner

Leveraging the CA Core+ Practitioner Profile:

The Practitioner resource is used to support creating a FHIR Group resource intended to list specific healthcare providers for topic-based subscriptions in the Publish/Subscribe system within Canada. To ensure that practitioners added as members to this Group are identified appropriately we are using attributes defined and standardized by the CA Core+ Practitioner profile to enable precise and interoperable communication. This adherence to the CA Core+ profile allows the publishing system to accurately recognize the specified practitioners, thereby reliably filtering and delivering relevant notifications only to the intended provider group for the subscribed topic.

PractitionerCACore (Practitioner)	I		Practitioner	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Practitioner Short description A person with a formal responsibility in the provisioning of healthcare or related services Definition A person who is directly or indirectly involved in the provisioning of healthcare. Data type Practitioner Constraints dom-2: If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT contain nested Resources `contained.contained.empty()` dom-3: If the resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL be referred to from elsewhere in the resource or SHALL refer to the containing resource `contained.where((('#'+id in (%resource.descendants().reference \| %resource.descendants().as(canonical) \| %resource.descendants().as(uri) \| %resource.descendants().as(url))) or descendants().where(reference = '#').exists() or descendants().where(as(canonical) = '#').exists() or descendants().where(as(canonical) = '#').exists()).not()).trace('unmatched', id).empty()` dom-4: If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a meta.versionId or a meta.lastUpdated `contained.meta.versionId.empty() and contained.meta.lastUpdated.empty()` dom-5: If a resource is contained in another resource, it SHALL NOT have a security label `contained.meta.security.empty()` dom-6: A resource should have narrative for robust management text.`div`.exists() Mappings rim: Entity. Role, or Act v2: PRD (as one example) rim: Role servd: Provider
id	Σ	0..1	string	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 The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation. Data type string
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. Data type Meta Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`
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 it's 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())`
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 A human language. CommonLanguages (preferred) Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())`
text		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 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 Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: Act.text?
contained		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, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope. 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 Mappings rim: N/A
extension	I	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 manageable, 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 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
modifierExtension	?! I	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 manageable, 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. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone. Data type Extension 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
identifier	S Σ	0..*	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. Comments pCHDCF modelling for care team concepts (including provider identifiers) is still underway. The requirements to support certain types of identifiers (e.g., province/territory registration identifiers) across all use cases and decisions on whether the identifier requirements should apply to both Practitioner and PractitionerRole are still undefined. Furthermore, the ways that these identifiers will be differentiated for conformance testing purposes is still undefined (see comment on identifier.type). For this reason, slice modelling and application of obligations towards certain identifiers is not currently expressed in this profile. The profile will continue to evolve as care team details undergo data modelling in the pCHDCF.

use	Σ ?!	0..1	codeBinding	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Practitioner.identifier.use Short description usual \| official \| temp \| secondary \| old (If known) Definition The purpose of this identifier. Requirements Allows the appropriate identifier for a particular context of use to be selected from among a set of identifiers. Comments Applications can assume that an identifier is permanent unless it explicitly says that it is temporary. Data type code Binding Identifies the purpose for this identifier, if known . IdentifierUse (required) Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings v2: N/A rim: Role.code or implied by context
type	Σ	0..1	CodeableConceptBinding	Element id Practitioner.identifier.type Short description Description of identifier Definition A coded type for the identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose. Requirements Allows users to make use of identifiers when the identifier system is not known. Comments The value in identifier.type is typically used to differentiate between identifiers that serve distinct purposes (e.g., Medical License Number, Regional Registry ID, Health Plan Identifier). Profiles typically use the identifier.type to differentiate between expectations that are expressed for some identifier types but not others. However, current implementations of practitioner identifiers in Canada use the identifier.type of 'Provider Number' (coded as 'PRN') to convey a number of different types of identifiers (e.g., registration number, license numbers, and billing numbers). Should there be expectations in the future for this profile to differentiate between these identifiers, current typing practices may need to change and/or further details may need to be used (e.g., identifier.system) to differentiate between concepts like registration number, license number, and billing number. Data type CodeableConcept Binding A coded type for an identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose.

system	S Σ	1..1	uri	Element id Practitioner.identifier.system Short description The namespace for the identifier value Definition Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique. Requirements There are many sets of identifiers. To perform matching of two identifiers, we need to know what set we're dealing with. The system identifies a particular set of unique identifiers. Comments Identifier.system is always case sensitive. Data type uri Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Examples General http://www.acme.com/identifiers/patient Mappings v2: CX.4 / EI-2-4 rim: II.root or Role.id.root servd: ./IdentifierType pCHDCF: Provider Provincial/Territorial Registration Number* pCHDCF: Provider Province/Territory Billing Number* pCHDCF: Provider National Unique Identifier*
value	S Σ	1..1	string	Element id Practitioner.identifier.value Short description The value that is unique Definition The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system. Comments If the value is a full URI, then the system SHALL be urn:ietf:rfc:3986. The value's primary purpose is computational mapping. As a result, it may be normalized for comparison purposes (e.g. removing non-significant whitespace, dashes, etc.) A value formatted for human display can be conveyed using the Rendered Value extension. Identifier.value is to be treated as case sensitive unless knowledge of the Identifier.system allows the processer to be confident that non-case-sensitive processing is safe.

Requirements Need to be able to mark a practitioner record as not to be used because it was created in error. Comments If the practitioner is not in use by one organization, then it should mark the period on the PractitonerRole with an end date (even if they are active) as they may be active in another role.

Requirements The name(s) that a Practitioner is known by. Where there are multiple, the name that the practitioner is usually known as should be used in the display. Comments The selection of the use property should ensure that there is a single usual name specified, and others use the nickname (alias), old, or other values as appropriate. In general, select the value to be used in the ResourceReference.display based on this: There is more than 1 name Use = usual Period is current to the date of the usage Use = official Other order as decided by internal business rules.

text	Σ	0..1	string	Element id Practitioner.name.text Short description Text representation of the full name Definition Text representation of the full name. Due to the cultural variance around the world a consuming system may not know how to present the name correctly; moreover not all the parts of the name go in given or family. Creators are therefore strongly encouraged to provide through this element a presented version of the name. Future versions of this guide may require this element Requirements A renderable, unencoded form. Comments Can provide both a text representation and parts. Applications updating a name SHALL ensure that when both text and parts are present, no content is included in the text that isn't found in a part.

given	S Σ	0..*	string	Element id Practitioner.name.given Short description Given names (not always 'first'). Includes middle names Alternate names first name, middle name Definition Given name. Comments If only initials are recorded, they may be used in place of the full name parts. Initials may be separated into multiple given names but often aren't due to paractical limitations. This element is not called "first name" since given names do not always come first.

telecom	Σ	0..*	ContactPoint	Element id Practitioner.telecom Short description A contact detail for the practitioner (that apply to all roles) Definition A contact detail for the practitioner, e.g. a telephone number or an email address. Requirements Need to know how to reach a practitioner independent to any roles the practitioner may have. Comments Although the provider phone number and provider email concepts are expressed in the pCHDCF materials, their current definition does not distinctly identify the resource target(s) where it has to be applied (e.g., Practitioner vs PractitionerRole). The mappings and obligations for these details have been removed from the profile to avoid unintentional placement of these requirements until further pCHDCF data modelling for care team details is complete. Reviewers are encouraged to provide feedback on the potential impact of applying a 'no-error' obligation on this element for clients.

address	Σ	0..*	Address	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Practitioner.address Short description Address(es) of the practitioner that are not role specific (typically home address) Definition Address(es) of the practitioner that are not role specific (typically home address). Work addresses are not typically entered in this property as they are usually role dependent. Requirements The home/mailing address of the practitioner is often required for employee administration purposes, and also for some rostering services where the start point (practitioners home) can be used in calculations. Comments The PractitionerRole does not have an address value on it, as it is expected that the location property be used for this purpose (which has an address).

Most addresses are both. Comments The definition of Address states that "address is intended to describe postal addresses, not physical locations". However, many applications track whether an address has a dual purpose of being a location that can be visited as well as being a valid delivery destination, and Postal addresses are often used as proxies for physical locations (also see the Location resource).

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 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.

Requirements Allows users to make use of identifiers when the identifier system is not known. Comments The value in identifier.type is typically used to differentiate between identifiers that serve distinct purposes (e.g., Medical License Number, Regional Registry ID, Health Plan Identifier). Profiles typically use the identifier.type to differentiate between expectations that are expressed for some identifier types but not others. However, current implementations of practitioner identifiers in Canada use the identifier.type of 'Provider Number' (coded as 'PRN') to convey a number of different types of identifiers (e.g., registration number, license numbers, and billing numbers). Should there be expectations in the future for this profile to differentiate between these identifiers, current typing practices may need to change and/or further details may need to be used (e.g., identifier.system) to differentiate between concepts like registration number, license number, and billing number.

telecom	Σ	0..*	ContactPoint	Element id Practitioner.telecom Short description A contact detail for the practitioner (that apply to all roles) Definition A contact detail for the practitioner, e.g. a telephone number or an email address. Requirements Need to know how to reach a practitioner independent to any roles the practitioner may have. Comments Although the provider phone number and provider email concepts are expressed in the pCHDCF materials, their current definition does not distinctly identify the resource target(s) where it has to be applied (e.g., Practitioner vs PractitionerRole). The mappings and obligations for these details have been removed from the profile to avoid unintentional placement of these requirements until further pCHDCF data modelling for care team details is complete.

Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, 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.

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.

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 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).

However, current implementations of practitioner identifiers in Canada use the identifier.type of 'Provider Number' (coded as 'PRN') to convey a number of different types of identifiers (e.g., registration number, license numbers, and billing numbers). Should there be expectations in the future for this profile to differentiate between these identifiers, current typing practices may need to change and/or further details may need to be used (e.g., identifier.system) to differentiate between concepts like registration number, license number, and billing number. Data type CodeableConcept Binding A coded type for an identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose.

Due to the cultural variance around the world a consuming system may not know how to present the name correctly; moreover not all the parts of the name go in given or family. Creators are therefore strongly encouraged to provide through this element a presented version of the name. Future versions of this guide may require this element Requirements A renderable, unencoded form. Comments Can provide both a text representation and parts.

Requirements Need to know how to reach a practitioner independent to any roles the practitioner may have. Comments Although the provider phone number and provider email concepts are expressed in the pCHDCF materials, their current definition does not distinctly identify the resource target(s) where it has to be applied (e.g., Practitioner vs PractitionerRole). The mappings and obligations for these details have been removed from the profile to avoid unintentional placement of these requirements until further pCHDCF data modelling for care team details is complete.
