DataStandardsWales-PractitionerRole

The PractitionerRole resource provides specific set of roles/locations/specialties/services that a practitioner may perform at an organization. The DataStandardsWales-PractitionerRole profile is derived from the UK Core PractitionerRole Profile. It defines additional rules for use within health and care organisations in Wales.

Mandatory and Must Support Data Elements

When an element is mandatory (min=1), the data is expected to always be present. Elements marked with an S must be supported by both producing and receiving systems and SHOULD be populated if the data exists.

Each PractitionerRole must have:

  1. A code to indicate job role

Each PractitionerRole must support:

  1. An indicator that the role is still active
  2. The period that the role was active
  3. A link to the practitioner who is perfoming the role
  4. A link to the organisazation where the role is performed
  5. The practitioner's specialty in the role

Terminology Bindings

The following terminology bindings have been defined for use within this profile:

PathStrengthValueSet
PractitionerRole.codeextensiblehttps://fhir.nhs.wales/ValueSet/DataStandardsWales-JobRole
PractitionerRole.specialtyrequiredhttps://fhir.nhs.wales/ValueSet/DataStandardsWales-MainSpecialty

Logical Model

The diagram below the relationship between PractitionerRole, Practitioner and Organization resources. It shows how Dr Dhiren Patel performs a Geriatric Medicine Consultant role for Swansea Bay University Health Board.


Implementation Guidance

  • A Practitioner may be linked to more than one PractitionerRole resource. This would be used to model, for example, a clinician contracted to perform clinical sessions at more than one organization.
  • The PractitionerRole.status and .period field SHOULD be populated to indicate whether the role is still active, and relevant dates to indicate the period that the role was active.
    • If still active, only the .start element should be populated.
  • No extensions are defined for use within this profile.

Example PractitionerRoles

The following example resources are provided within this guide: Consultant (Geriatric Medicine), Physiotherapist, Prescribing Nurse.

Mandatory Search Parameters

The following search parameters and search parameter combinations SHALL be supported:

  1. SHALL support searching by an organization identifier using the identifier search parameter:

    GET [base]/PractionerRole?practitioner=[id]
    

    Example:

    1. GET [base]/PractionerRole?practitioner=Practitioner/123
    2. GET [base]/PractionerRole?practitioner=http://example.org/fhir/Practitioner/123

    Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle containing any PractitionerRole resources matching the referenced practitioner (how to search by reference).
