8.4 Resource Practitioner - Content

Patient Administration icon Work Group Maturity Level : 3   Trial Use Security Category : Individual Compartments : Practitioner

A person who is directly or indirectly involved in the provisioning of healthcare. healthcare or related services.

8.4.1 Scope and Usage

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 homecare providers, official volunteers
  • receptionists handling patient registration
  • IT personnel merging or unmerging patient records
  • Service service animal (e.g., ward assigned dog capable of detecting cancer in patients)
  • a bus driver for a community organization
  • a lawyer acting for a hospital or a patient
  • a person working for a supplier of a healthcare organization

The Practitioner resource is used for anyone involved in the provision of care or services to a Patient associated with an organization. The RelatedPerson resource is used for anyone involved in the care for a patient, typically having a personal *relationship *or non-healthcare-specific professional relationship to the patient.

8.4.2 Boundaries and Relationships

The Resource SHALL NOT be used for persons involved without a formal responsibility like individuals taking care for friends, relatives or neighbors. These can be registered as a Patient's Contact. If performing some action or being referenced by another resource, use the RelatedPerson resource.

The primary distinction between a Practitioner and a RelatedPerson is based on whether:

  • The person/animal operates on behalf of the care delivery organization over multiple patients (Practitioner) or,
  • Where the person/animal is not associated with the organization, and instead is allocated tasks specifically for the RelatedPerson's Patient (RelatedPerson).

A standard extension animalSpecies can be used to indicate the species of a service animal.

The PractitionerRole resource provides the details of roles that the practitioner is approved to perform for which organizations (and at which locations, and optionally what services too).

Practitioners are also often grouped into CareTeams independently of roles, where the CareTeam defines what specific role that they are fulfilling within the team, and might or might not have actual practitioner role resources created for the practitioner (and in the care team context, the organization the practitioner is representing)

8.4.3 Background and Context

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.

8.4.5.1 Terminology Bindings

Path Definition Type Reference
Practitioner.gender

The gender of a person used for administrative purposes.

Required AdministrativeGender
Practitioner.qualification.code

Concepts specifying an educational degree (e.g., MD). Used in the CNN datatype (names and identifiers of clinicians) in Version 2 messaging. Used in Version 2 messaging; note that in releases of HL7 prior to 2.3.1, was also used in person names (XPN), but this use was deprecated, then withdrawn in 2.7.

Example http://terminology.hl7.org/ValueSet/v2-2.7-0360 Hl7VSDegreeLicenseCertificate icon (a valid code from degreeLicenseCertificate icon )
Practitioner.communication

This value set includes common codes from BCP-47 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47)

Preferred , but limited to AllLanguages CommonLanguages

8.4.6 Notes:

  • The practitioner's Qualifications are acquired by the practitioner independent of any organization or role, and do not imply that they are allowed/authorized to perform roles relevant to the qualification at any specific Organization/Location.
  • Business idenfitiers may be used in Practitioner.identifier and/or Practitioner.qualification.identifier based on local requirements.
    The Practitioner.identifier doesn't convey anything about the status of the license (other than period), if this or any additional details are available then the qualification.identifier should be used.
    E.g. a specific license includes its type, status, issuer and a local category extension for which specialties were included in the license.
