Requirements Often, specific identities are assigned for the agent. Comments The NPI will always be present. This NPI is the value of Practitioner.identifier.value for the identifier whose system value is "http://hl7.org/fhir/sid/us-npi". The Surescripts Provider ID (SPI) may be present. The SPI is the value of Practitioner.identifier.value for the identifier whose system value is “http://fhirdocs.surescripts.net/spi”.

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.

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.

Requirements Knowing which language a practitioner speaks can help in facilitating communication with patients.
