Description
This profile represents the constraints applied to the Practitioner resource by the PS-CA project to represent a practitioner acting as observer for diagnostic results. It allows for cross-border and cross-jurisdiction sharing of details that support Diagnostic Result Information. This profile may be underpinned by a CA Core profile in the future. There is a possibility it will be replaced entirely by a CA Core profile if the requirements for use in lab are aligned to expectations for generic use.

It is not currently flagged as Must Support in PS-CA, as stakeholders have indicated the element may not be supported by the majority of systems today. Systems that do support the element are encouraged to include it in generated Patient Summary documents, and support it when received. Vendors should expect that some jurisdictions may add a Must Support requirement within the context of their own jurisdictional content."
