This profile defines a practitioner role structure that localises core concepts, including identifiers and terminology, for use in an Australian context. The purpose of this profile is to provide national level agreement on core localised concepts. This profile does not force conformance to core localised concepts. It enables implementers and modellers to make their own rules, i.e. profiling, about how to support these concepts for specific implementation needs.

Usage Notes

Profile specific implementation guidance:

  • If a system needs to differentiate contacts for a practitioner in a role by purpose:
    • contact information is sent in PractitionerRole.telecom
    • purpose for the contact is sent using the Contact Purpose extension in PractitionerRole.telecom.extension
  • When selecting a code for PractitionerRole.code:
    • Where possible a code from the preferred Practitioner Role value set should be selected.
    • If a system is unable to provide a code from the preferred value set because the implementation context is not restricted to healthcare practitioner providers then it is recommended to select a suitable code from SNOMED CT.
    • If a suitable code from SNOMED CT is not available a code from the value set Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations may be used.
  • See each Identifier profile page for guidance related to that identifier type.
