This profile of Identifier defines a HCPD Source Identifier (HCPD-SI). 

### 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:

* The combination of system and value MUST be globally unique within Health Connect and **SHOULD** be stable over the lifecycle of the resource.
* Use `identifier.system` to record a canonical URI when organisations have a stable namespace for their identifiers.
* This identifier **SHALL** respect the value, type and system attributed by the source system from where the data was initially ingested.

**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)
