This profile of Identifier defines a HCPD Local Identifier (HCPD-LI) used for system reference and internal business logic. 

#### HCD Local Identifier

Beyond the identifiers already defined in AU Core, the following HCPD resource profiles: Location, PractitionerRole, HealthcareService & Endpoint explicitly support a unique Health Connect Provider Directory attributed slice. The value of this identifier is uniquely assigned at creation, therefore this prevents duplications of values regardless of resource type.

Publishing guidance:

* The HCPD Local Identifier (HCPD-LI) is the canonical identifier for resources internally within the Health Connect Provider Directory system and **SHALL** be supplied when known. Publishing systems **SHALL NOT** manipulate the HCPD-LI value themselves — the HCPD service **SHALL** generate and manage this identifier.

**Usages:**

* Use this DataType Profile: [HCPD Endpoint](StructureDefinition-hcpd-endpoint.md), [HCPD HealthcareService](StructureDefinition-hcpd-healthcareservice.md), [HCPD Location](StructureDefinition-hcpd-location.md) and [HCPD PractitionerRole](StructureDefinition-hcpd-practitionerrole.md)
