Referencing an Organization resource is likely to be more useful than a person, as a Practitioner resource, as people’s work patterns and employers may be variable while the care setting organisation will be constantly available.

When referencing an organisation - the following must be provided:

  • Oraganization.contact.name
  • Organization.contact.telecom
  • Organisation.identifier.odsOrganizationCode or Organization.identifier.odsSiteCode

Where the organisation is an Acute Trust, an ODS Site Code may be more useful than the parent Trust-wide ODS organisation code.
