AdministrativeGender (required) Constraints ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim:n/a v2:STF-5 rim:./administrativeGender servd:./GenderCode
birthDate	Σ	0..1	date	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element Id Practitioner.birthDate Short description The date on which the practitioner was born Definition The date of birth for the practitioner. Requirements Needed for identification. Data Type date Constraints ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim:n/a v2:STF-6 rim:./birthTime servd:(not represented in ServD)
photo	I	0..*	Attachment	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element Id Practitioner.photo Short description Image of the person Definition Image of the person. Requirements Many EHR systems have the capability to capture an image of patients and personnel. Fits with newer social media usage too. Comments When providing a summary view (for example with Observation.value[x]) Attachment should be represented with a brief display text such as "Signed Procedure Consent". Data Type Attachment Constraints ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` att-1:If the Attachment has data, it SHALL have a contentType `data.empty() or contentType.exists()` Mappings rim:n/a v2:ED/RP rim:ED rim:./subjectOf/ObservationEvent[code="photo"]/value servd:./ImageURI (only supports the URI reference)
qualification		0..*	BackboneElement	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element Id Practitioner.qualification Short description Certification, licenses, or training pertaining to the provision of care Definition The official certifications, training, and licenses that authorize or otherwise pertain to the provision of care by the practitioner. For example, a medical license issued by a medical board authorizing the practitioner to practice medicine within a certian locality. Data Type BackboneElement Constraints ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim:n/a v2:CER? rim:.playingEntity.playingRole[classCode=QUAL].code servd:./Qualifications
identifier		0..*	Identifier	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element Id Practitioner.qualification.identifier Short description An identifier for this qualification for the practitioner Definition An identifier that applies to this person's qualification in this role. Requirements Often, specific identities are assigned for the qualification. Data Type Identifier Constraints ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` 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. Also maps to Role[classCode=IDENT] servd:Identifier rim:.playingEntity.playingRole[classCode=QUAL].id
code		1..1	CodeableConcept	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element Id Practitioner.qualification.code Short description Coded representation of the qualification Definition Coded representation of the qualification. Comments Not all terminology uses fit this general pattern. In some cases, models should not use CodeableConcept and use Coding directly and provide their own structure for managing text, codings, translations and the relationship between elements and pre- and post-coordination. Data Type CodeableConcept Binding Specific qualification the practitioner has to provide a service. v2.0360.2.7 (example) 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 rim:.playingEntity.playingRole[classCode=QUAL].code servd:./Qualifications.Value
period	I	0..1	Period	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element Id Practitioner.qualification.period Short description Period during which the qualification is valid Definition Period during which the qualification is valid. Requirements Qualifications are often for a limited period of time, and can be revoked. Comments A Period specifies a range of time; the context of use will specify whether the entire range applies (e.g. "the patient was an inpatient of the hospital for this time range") or one value from the range applies (e.g. "give to the patient between these two times"). Period is not used for a duration (a measure of elapsed time). See Duration. Data Type Period Constraints ele-1:All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())` per-1:If present, start SHALL have a lower value than end `start.hasValue().not() or end.hasValue().not() or (start <= end)` Mappings rim:n/a v2:DR rim:IVL<TS>[lowClosed="true" and highClosed="true"] or URG<TS>[lowClosed="true" and highClosed="true"] rim:.playingEntity.playingRole[classCode=QUAL].effectiveTime servd:./Qualifications.StartDate and ./Qualifications.EndDate
issuer	I	0..1	Reference(Organization)	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element Id Practitioner.qualification.issuer Short description Organization that regulates and issues the qualification Definition Organization that regulates and issues the qualification. Comments References SHALL be a reference to an actual FHIR resource, and SHALL be resolveable (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. Data Type Reference(Organization) 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.startsWith('#').not() or (reference.substring(1).trace('url') in %rootResource.contained.id.trace('ids'))` 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
communication		0..*	CodeableConceptBinding	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element Id Practitioner.communication Short description A language the practitioner can use in patient communication Definition A language the practitioner can use in patient communication. Requirements Knowing which language a practitioner speaks can help in facilitating communication with patients. Comments The structure aa-BB with this exact casing is one the most widely used notations for locale. However not all systems code this but instead have it as free text. Hence CodeableConcept instead of code as the data type. Data Type CodeableConcept Binding A human language. CommonLanguages (preferred) 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, NK1-20, LAN-2 rim:./languageCommunication servd:./Languages.LanguageSpokenCode

Usage

The Practitioner Resource is used to provide details about the author and attester of a Patient Summary in its header.

Notes

.id

Definition: Logical id of this artifact
used to uniquely identify the resource
if a persistent identity for the resource is not available to use when constructing the composition Bundle, a UUID SHOULD be used in this element (with a corresponding value in Bundle.entry.fullUrl)
Where .id is populated with a persistent identifier, consumers SHALL NOT expect to be able to resolve the resource and SHALL always use the version of the resource contained in the Bundle to render the composition.

.meta.profile

used to declare conformance to this profile
populate with a fixed value: http://ontariohealth.ca/fhir/StructureDefinition/ca-on-ps-profile-practitioner|0.9.1

.meta.versionId

SHALL be populated by the Patient Summary Repository server
consuming systems can expect this element to be populated when retrieving patient summary instances from the repository
source systems do not need to populate this element prior to submission

.identifier

SHALL be used to convey business identifier(s) that are specific to this Practitioner such as a college license number

.name

the name of the practitioner
.name.family SHALL always be populated
.name.given use multiple instances if the practitioner has multiple given names (e.g. first and middle names)

.telecom

PractitionerRole.telecom is the preferred location for this information
