This Omnibus Care Plan (OCP) PractitionerRole profile describes a specific set of roles/locations/specialties/services that a practitioner may perform at an organization for a period of time. The profile identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets SHALL be present in the resource when using this profile.

PractitionerRole covers the recording of the location and types of services that Practitioners are able to provide for an organization.

The role, specialty, location and telecom properties can be repeated if required in other instances of the PractitionerRole. Some systems record a collection of service values for a single location, others record the single service and the list of locations it is available. Both are acceptable options for representing this data.

Qualifications (from the Practitioner resource) do not imply a Role, but might be considered when an Organization allocates practitioners to roles within their organization, and could provide useful information (such as expiry information) which could need to be tracked in some situations to ensure they continue to be eligible for a specific role.
