National Directory of Healthcare Providers & Services (NDH) Implementation Guide, published by HL7 International / Patient Administration. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 2.0.0-current built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/HL7/fhir-us-ndh/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions
| Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/ndh/StructureDefinition/ndh-Group | Version: 2.0.0-current | ||||
| Standards status: Trial-use | Maturity Level: 4 | Computable Name: NdhGroup | |||
| Other Identifiers: OID:2.999.1.2.3.4.42.41 | |||||
This profile enables NDH to represent multidisciplinary provider groups as directory entities so consumers can discover team-based programs and services and understand the practitioner and practitioner-role membership that supports coordinated care delivery; it adds extensions for location and endpoint references, verification, artifact description, and effective period, and uses ValueSet-constrained group coding to standardize program/service classification.
