Technical endpoints providing access to services operated for the practitioner with this role.

A specific set of Roles/Locations/specialties/services that a practitioner may perform at an organization for a period of time.

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

Within the context of the FHIR RESTful interactions, the resource has an id except for cases like the create and conditional update. Otherwise, the use of the resouce id depends on the given use case.

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of its narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

The base language in which the resource is written.

Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

Contained resources do not have a narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later.

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, nor can they have their own independent transaction scope. This is allowed to be a Parameters resource if and only if it is referenced by a resource that provides context/meaning.

This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags in their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

Business Identifiers that are specific to a role/location.

Often, specific identities are assigned for the agent.

A specific identifier value (e.g. Minnesota Registration ID) may appear on multiple PractitionerRole instances which could be for different periods, or different Roles (or other reasons). A specific identifier may be included multiple times in the same PractitionerRole instance with different identifier validity periods.

Whether this practitioner role record is in active use. Some systems may use this property to mark non-active practitioners, such as those that are not currently employed.

Need to be able to mark a practitioner role record as not to be used because it was created in error, or otherwise no longer in active use.

If this value is false, you may refer to the period to see when the role was in active use. If there is no period specified, no inference can be made about when it was active.

The period during which the person is authorized to act as a practitioner in these role(s) for the organization.

Even after the agencies is revoked, the fact that it existed must still be recorded.

If a practitioner is performing a role within an organization over multiple, non-adjacent periods, there should be a distinct PractitionerRole instance for each period. For example, if a nurse is employed at a hospital, leaves the organization for a period of time due to pandemic related stress, but returns post-pandemic to the same job role, there would be two PractitionerRole instances for the different periods of employment.

Practitioner that is able to provide the defined services for the organization.

The organization where the Practitioner performs the roles associated.

A reference to a code defined by a terminology system.

Allows for alternative encodings within a code system, and translations to other code systems.

Codes may be defined very casually in enumerations, or code lists, up to very formal definitions such as SNOMED CT - see the HL7 v3 Core Principles for more information. Ordering of codings is undefined and SHALL NOT be used to infer meaning. Generally, at most only one of the coding values will be labeled as UserSelected = true.

The identification of the code system Helsepersonellregisterets (HPR) klassifikasjon av spesialiteter (OID=9034)

Need to be unambiguous about the source of the definition of the symbol.

The URI may be an OID (urn:oid:...) or a UUID (urn:uuid:...). OIDs and UUIDs SHALL be references to the HL7 OID registry. Otherwise, the URI should come from HL7's list of FHIR defined special URIs or it should be an absolute reference to some definition that establishes the system clearly and unambiguously.

The version of the code system which was used when choosing this code. Note that a well-maintained code system does not need the version reported, because the meaning of codes is consistent across versions. However this cannot consistently be assured, and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged.

Where the terminology does not clearly define what string should be used to identify code system versions, the recommendation is to use the date (expressed in FHIR date format) on which that version was officially published as the version date.

A symbol in syntax defined by the system. The symbol may be a predefined code or an expression in a syntax defined by the coding system (e.g. post-coordination).

Need to refer to a particular code in the system.

A representation of the meaning of the code in the system, following the rules of the system.

Need to be able to carry a human-readable meaning of the code for readers that do not know the system.

Indicates that this coding was chosen by a user directly - e.g. off a pick list of available items (codes or displays).

This has been identified as a clinical safety criterium - that this exact system/code pair was chosen explicitly, rather than inferred by the system based on some rules or language processing.

Amongst a set of alternatives, a directly chosen code is the most appropriate starting point for new translations. There is some ambiguity about what exactly 'directly chosen' implies, and trading partner agreement may be needed to clarify the use of this element and its consequences more completely.

A human language representation of the concept as seen/selected/uttered by the user who entered the data and/or which represents the intended meaning of the user.

The codes from the terminologies do not always capture the correct meaning with all the nuances of the human using them, or sometimes there is no appropriate code at all. In these cases, the text is used to capture the full meaning of the source.

Very often the text is the same as a displayName of one of the codings.

no-basis: code related to a speciality that the Practitioner can perform in the role within an organization

Specific specialty of the practitioner.

The specialty represents the functional role a practitioner is playing within an organization/location. This role may require the individual have certain qualifications, which would be represented in the Practitioner.qualifications property. Note that qualifications may or might not relate to or be required by the practicing specialty.

The location(s) at which this practitioner provides care.

The list of healthcare services that this worker provides for this role's Organization/Location(s).

The contact details of communication devices available relevant to the specific PractitionerRole. This can include addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers, mobile numbers, email addresses and web sites.

Often practitioners have a dedicated line for each location (or service) that they work at, and need to be able to define separate contact details for each of these. Sometimes these also include a named person/organization that handles contact for specific purposes, such as a receptionist, or accounts clerk etc.

Collection of characteristics (attributes).

These could be such things as is the service mode used by this role.

A language the practitioner can use in patient communication. The practitioner may know several languages (listed in practitioner.communication), however these are the languages that could be advertised in a directory for a patient to search.

Knowing which language a practitioner speaks can help in facilitating patients to locate practitioners that speak their language.

The structure aa-BB with this exact casing is one the most widely used notations for locale. However not all systems code this but instead have it as free text. Hence CodeableConcept instead of code as the data type.

Note that for non-patient oriented communication, see Practitioner.communication. Note that all 'person' type resources (Person, RelatedPerson, Patient, Practitioner) have a communication structure that includes preferences. Role or service oriented resources such as HealthcareService and PractitionerRole only include languages that are available for interacting with patients.

A collection of times the practitioner is available or performing this role at the location and/or healthcareservice.

More detailed availability information may be provided in associated Schedule/Slot resources.

Systems may choose to render availability differently than it is exchanged on the interface. For example, rather than "Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri from 9am-12am; Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri from 1pm-5pm" as would be implied by two availableTime repetitions, an application could render this information as "Mon-Fri 9-12am and 1-5pm".

The NotAvailableTime(s) included indicate the general days/periods where the practitioner is not available (for things such as vacation time, or public holidays).

no-basis: don't use this element to reference endpoints registered in the Norwegian Address register (endpoints connected to a kommunikasjonspart in tjenestebasert adressering). Endpoints registered in the Norwegian Address register should only be referenced through a kommunikasjonspart-Organization resource.

Technical endpoints providing access to services operated for the practitioner with this role.

Organizations have multiple systems that provide various services and may also be different for practitioners too.

So the endpoint satisfies the need to be able to define the technical connection details for how to connect to them, and for what purpose.
