Healthcare Professional
Purpose
To record details regarding a HCP that is associated with a test order. To know who to contact with questions or clinical results and how they should be contacted.
Notes
Mapped to PractitionerRole. The requestor is mapped to ServiceRequest.requestor. Usage of HealthcareService and Location resources still to be determined.
It is expected that practitioner and organization details will be referenced from PractitionerRole resources (e.g. using ODS/SDS identifiers) rather than be included as FHIR resources within Test Request payloads, though the full FHIR mapping has been provided below for completeness.
Mapping
| ID | Source Data item | Target FHIR Element | HL7v2.5.1 Mapping | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HCP-1 | HCP - Genomic test order role | Determined through where the PractitionerRole is referenced from e.g. for the requester: ServiceRequest.requestor, Additional contact: ServiceRequest.extension:additionalContact, Sample collection: Specimen.collection.collector etc. | multiple possible segments e.g. ORC-12 for requester | HCP's function within the genomic test ordering process. |
| HCP-2 | HCP - First name | PractitionerRole.practitioner.display (full delimited name can be retrieved via identifier e.g. from SDS) | ORC-12.2 | HCP's first name. |
| HCP-13 | HCP - surname | PractitionerRole.practitioner.display (full delimited name can be retrieved via identifier e.g. from SDS) | ORC-12.3 | HCP's surname. |
| HCP-3 | HCP - Job Title | PractitionerRole.code (display can be used to capture human readable job role code) | CTD-1 | HCP's job title. |
| HCP-4 | HCP - Current Specialty | PractitionerRole.specialty | Additional CTD-1 segments | HCP's current specialty. |
| HCP-5 | HCP - Telephone number | PractitionerRole.telecom:system=phone | ORC-14 | HCP's telephone number. |
| HCP-6 | HCP - Email address | PractitionerRole.telecom:system=email | CTD-5.4 | HCP's email address. |
| HCP-7 | HCP - Organization name. | PractitionerRole.organization.display (full delimited name can be retrieved via identifier e.g. from ODS) | ORC-21 | HCP's requesting organization name. |
| HCP-9 | HCP - Organization ODS code. | PractitionerRole.organization.identifier | ORC-21.10 | HCP's requesting organization ODS code. |
| HCP-10 | HCP - Department name | PractitionerRole.specialty if mapped to clinical specialty, alternatively use PractitionerRole.healthcareService | Additional CTD-1 segments | HCP's department name. |
| HCP-11 | HCP - Professional registration number | PractitionerRole.practitioner.identifier | ORC-12.1 | HCP's professional registration number such as their GMC number. |
| HCP-12 | HCP - Professional registration number type | PractitionerRole.practitioner.identifier.system | ORC-12.9 | HCP's professional registration number type such GMC. |
