Description of Profiles, Differentials, Snapshots and how the different presentations work

Usage

The PractitionerRole resource is used to represent the activity (such as specialty and job title) and contact information that a Practitioner may perform at an organization/location.

PractitionerRole is used in a variety of ways in an eReferral process:

• In an referral ServiceRequest it is used to represent
  • the Patient's general pracitioner
  • the Requester of a referral
  • a provider participating in an Appointment
  • etc.

Important:

• The values recommended for Reference.display in this profile were carefully selected to ensure that if only PractitionerRole is retrieved (without retrieving Practitioner, Organization, Location or Endpoint), there is sufficient information presented, for most use cases
• Any elements that are duplicated with the Practitioner resource (i.e., telecom, address) as it relates to providing a service should be recorded in PractitionerRole instead of Practitioner
