This profile of Identifier defines a HCPD Source Identifier (HCPD-SI).
The HCPD-SI is the primary external identifier assigned by a publisher to a HCPD instance for identification and integration with Health Connect. It is mandatory for all HealthcareService, Location, Endpoint & PractitionerRole HCPD resources published in the Health Connect directory.
identifier.type: fixed to RI (resource identifier).identifier.value: the value defined by the source organisation.identifier.system: populate with a stable URI to support authoritative reconciliation.Guidance:
identifier.system to record a canonical URI when organisations have a stable namespace for their identifiers.Usages:
You can also check for usages in the FHIR IG Statistics
