Resource Practitioner - Content5.3
Demographics and qualification information for an individual who is directly or indirectly involved in the provisioning of healthcare.
The resource name as it appears in a RESTful URL is [root]/practitioner/
Practitioner covers all individuals who are engaged in the healthcare process and healthcare-related services as part of their formal responsibilities and this Resource is used for attribution of activities and responsibilities to these individuals. Practitioners include (but are not limited to):
- physicians, dentists, pharmacists
- physician assistants, nurses, scribes
- midwives, dietitians, therapists, optometrists, paramedics
- medical technicians, laboratory scientists, prosthetic technicians, radiographers
- social workers, professional home carers, official volunteers
- receptionists handling patient registration
- IT personnel merging or unmerging patient records
The Resource must not be used for persons involved without a formal responsibility like individuals taking care for friends, relatives or neighbours. These can be registered as a Patient's Contact.
Practitioner performs different roles within the same or even different organizations. Depending on jurisdiction and custom, it may be necessary to maintain a specific Practitioner Resource for each such role or have a single Practitioner with multiple roles. The role can be limited to a specific period, after which authorization for this role ends. Note that the represented organization need not necessarily be the (direct) employer of a Practitioner.
