Element Id

Practitioner.identifier

Short description

An identifier for the person as this agent

Definition

SHOULD contain a professional code.

The inclusion of a professional code is strongly recommended. For consultants and doctors a prescribing code should be present. Please see NHS Data Model and Dictionary for details on these code.

The SDS User Id should be sourced from NHS Identity (SmartCard), this is also held within the Spine Directory Service LDAP database.

Format

N = any number
A = any alpha

(*) NHS Prescription Services systems require these prescriber codes to be 8 characters long. Additional zeroes (0) should be inserted immediately following the first 2 alpha characters to extend the code to 8 characters as necessary.

Code	Format	Example
GP/medical prescriber (DIN)	NNNNNN	954000
Nurse prescriber (NMC)	NNANNNNA	71A2998E
Pharmacist prescriber (GPHC)	NNNNNNN	2033467

Dietician prescriber (HCPC)	DTNNNNNN	DT012345
Paramedic prescriber (HCPC)	PANNNNNN	PA054321

The Doctor Index Number (DIN) will be present in the resource even if they are prescribing using a different prescribing code. This code is called the spurious code is held within the NHSDigital-PractitionerRole resource and MUST NOT be contained in the Practitioner resource.

In the example below, the practitioner (GP as they have a GMP Code) has a SDS User Id of 3415870201, GMP code of G1234567 and DIN code of 123456. If the GP was in a role, prescribing using a spurious code this would be found in the PractitionerRole.

          }
        ]

}

In the example below, the practitioner (Consultant as they have a GMC Code) has a SDS User Id of 1415870201, GMC code of C2134567.

          }
        ]
  ...
}

Professional Code System (Unspecified/Unknown System)

In cases where the profession code is present but it is not certain what type of code this is, the https://fhir.hl7.org.uk/Id/professional-code system should be used. It is also used for backwards compatibilty with EPS HL7 v3 ODS/NACS Practitioner Identifiers. This system may include codes from different codes and this may lead to identfication issues, for example GPhC and GMC Reference Number have the same format (7 digits), if one of these is receieved it is not known if this is a doctor and or a pharmacist.

E.g. in the example below, 2134567 is probably a GMC Reference Number but we are not certain.

{
  "resourceType": "Practitioner",
  ...
  "identifier": [
          {
            "system": "https://fhir.nhs.uk/Id/sds-user-id",
            "value": "1415870201"
          },
          {
            "system": "https://fhir.hl7.org.uk/Id/professional-code",
            "value": "2134567"
          }
        ]
  ...
}

Short description

Description of identifier

Definition

A coded type for the identifier that can be used to determine which identifier to use for a specific purpose.

Requirements

Allows users to make use of identifiers when the identifier system is not known.

Comments

This element deals only with general categories of identifiers. It SHOULD not be used for codes that correspond 1..1 with the Identifier.system. Some identifiers may fall into multiple categories due to common usage. Where the system is known, a type is unnecessary because the type is always part of the system definition. However systems often need to handle identifiers where the system is not known. There is not a 1:1 relationship between type and system, since many different systems have the same type.

Definition

Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique.

Short description

The value that is unique

Definition

The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system.

Comments

If the value is a full URI, then the system SHALL be urn:ietf:rfc:3986. The value's primary purpose is computational mapping. As a result, it may be normalized for comparison purposes (e.g. removing non-significant whitespace, dashes, etc.) A value formatted for human display can be conveyed using the Rendered Value extension. Identifier.value is to be treated as case sensitive unless knowledge of the Identifier.system allows the processer to be confident that non-case-sensitive processing is safe.

Although this system was intended to only be ODS/NACS Practitioner Identifiers, it has been used as a general purpose system.

Short description

Literal reference, Relative, internal or absolute URL

Definition

A reference to a location at which the other resource is found. The reference may be a relative reference, in which case it is relative to the service base URL, or an absolute URL that resolves to the location where the resource is found. The reference may be version specific or not. If the reference is not to a FHIR RESTful server, then it should be assumed to be version specific. Internal fragment references (start with '#') refer to contained resources.

Comments

Using absolute URLs provides a stable scalable approach suitable for a cloud/web context, while using relative/logical references provides a flexible approach suitable for use when trading across closed eco-system boundaries. Absolute URLs do not need to point to a FHIR RESTful server, though this is the preferred approach. If the URL conforms to the structure "/[type]/[id]" then it should be assumed that the reference is to a FHIR RESTful server.

The expected type of the target of the reference. If both Reference.type and Reference.reference are populated and Reference.reference is a FHIR URL, both SHALL be consistent.

The type is the Canonical URL of Resource Definition that is the type this reference refers to. References are URLs that are relative to http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/ e.g. "Patient" is a reference to http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Patient. Absolute URLs are only allowed for logical models (and can only be used in references in logical models, not resources).

Comments

This element is used to indicate the type of the target of the reference. This may be used which ever of the other elements are populated (or not). In some cases, the type of the target may be determined by inspection of the reference (e.g. a RESTful URL) or by resolving the target of the reference; if both the type and a reference is provided, the reference SHALL resolve to a resource of the same type as that specified.

Data Type

Binding

Aa resource (or, for logical models, the URI of the logical model).

Short description

Logical reference, when literal reference is not known

Definition

An identifier for the target resource. This is used when there is no way to reference the other resource directly, either because the entity it represents is not available through a FHIR server, or because there is no way for the author of the resource to convert a known identifier to an actual location. There is no requirement that a Reference.identifier point to something that is actually exposed as a FHIR instance, but it SHALL point to a business concept that would be expected to be exposed as a FHIR instance, and that instance would need to be of a FHIR resource type allowed by the reference.

Comments

When an identifier is provided in place of a reference, any system processing the reference will only be able to resolve the identifier to a reference if it understands the business context in which the identifier is used. Sometimes this is global (e.g. a national identifier) but often it is not. For this reason, none of the useful mechanisms described for working with references (e.g. chaining, includes) are possible, nor should servers be expected to be able resolve the reference. Servers may accept an identifier based reference untouched, resolve it, and/or reject it - see CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.referencePolicy.

When both an identifier and a literal reference are provided, the literal reference is preferred. Applications processing the resource are allowed - but not required - to check that the identifier matches the literal reference

Applications converting a logical reference to a literal reference may choose to leave the logical reference present, or remove it.

Reference is intended to point to a structure that can potentially be expressed as a FHIR resource, though there is no need for it to exist as an actual FHIR resource instance - except in as much as an application wishes to actual find the target of the reference. The content referred to be the identifier must meet the logical constraints implied by any limitations on what resource types are permitted for the reference. For example, it would not be legitimate to send the identifier for a drug prescription if the type were Reference(Observation|DiagnosticReport). One of the use-cases for Reference.identifier is the situation where no FHIR representation exists (where the type is Reference (Any).
