A health professional is a person who is authorized to perform actions in the field of individual healthcare.

The zib HealthProfessional is mapped for all but one concept (HealthProfessionalRole) to this Practitioner profile and a profile on PractitionerRole (http://nictiz.nl/fhir/StructureDefinition/nl-core-HealthProfessional-PractitionerRole). The PractitionerRole resource covers the recording of the location and types of services that HealthProfessionals are able to provide for a HealthcareProvider. The zib concepts Specialty and HealthcareProvider are therefore mapped onto PractitionerRole.

Although the zib concept name HealthProfessionalRole superficially seems to match the PractitionerRole resource, this is not the case based on the definition and values of that concept. In FHIR, the role that a HealthProfessional fulfills is captured as part of the clinical resource for that specific case, for example in the Procedure.performer.role element. This prevents the creation of duplicate HealthProfessional instances for each clinical situation where the HealthProfessional performs a different role in the process.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

The healthcare provider identification number is a number that uniquely identifies the healthcare provider.

The following numbers are used in the Netherlands:

1. UZI Health Professionals. Identification of health professionals (people) in the Dutch healthcare industry.
2. VEKTIS AGB-Z. Identifies health professionals and healthcare organizations
3. BIG-ID. The ID of the health professional listed in the BIG Register.

This information is not readily available for foreign health professionals.

Often, specific identities are assigned for the agent.

An identifier that applies to this person in this role.

Often, specific identities are assigned for the agent.

Health professional’s full name. If a health professional identification number is entered, it will be the name as listed in UZI, AGB or by the healthcare center.

The selection of the use property should ensure that there is a single usual name specified, and others use the nickname (alias), old, or other values as appropriate.

In general, select the value to be used in the ResourceReference.display based on this:

1. There is more than 1 name
2. Use = usual
3. Period is current to the date of the usage
4. Use = official
5. Other order as decided by internal business rules.

The name(s) that a Practitioner is known by. Where there are multiple, the name that the practitioner is usually known as should be used in the display.

This slice represents the person's official name information, including given names, last name and possibly the partner's last name.

This .name element accomodates the official parts of a Dutch name according to common international usage and optionally to the zib NameInformation v1.1 (2020). An official Dutch name is represented in FHIR as an ordinary international name, optionally augmented using extensions to specify how the last name is built up according to the Dutch rules if conformance to the zib is required. See the guidance on .family and on .extension:nameUsage for more information.

Systems that need to work in a Dutch context SHOULD support the extensions as specified in .given, .family and .extension:nameUsage. In addition, systems SHOULD use the core elements according to the FHIR specifications to provide compatibility outside Dutch contexts. This means that:

• If parts of the name are specified using one or more of the structured elements, the .text element SHOULD be populated with a rendered version of the full name.
• If parts of the family name are specified using the extensions in .family, the .family element SHOULD be populated with the full family name.

Note 1: The zib cannot be represented straightforward in FHIR. Especially note the guidance on .given on how to map the FirstNames and Initials concepts, and on .prefix/.suffix on how to map the Titles concept.

Note 2: This element should only contain a person's official names. The GivenName concept is represented in another .name element with .name.use = usual.

Note 3: The examples illustrate how the zib is mapped to FHIR.

The name(s) that a Practitioner is known by. Where there are multiple, the name that the practitioner is usually known as should be used in the display.

When implementing zib NameInformation, this representation should be constrcuted from the Prefix, LastName, PartnerPrefix and/or PartnerLastName concepts according to the NameUsage concept.

The prefix portion (e.g. voorvoegsel) of the family name that is derived from the person's own surname, as distinguished from any portion that is derived from the surname of the person's partner or spouse.

An example of a voorvoegsel is the "van" in "Ludwig van Beethoven". Since the voorvoegsel doesn't sort completely alphabetically, it is reasonable to specify it as a separate sub-component.

Partner’s official last name.

This slice represents the name information normally used to address the person.

This .name element represents the Dutch given name ("roepnaam") according to the zib NameInformation v1.1 (2020).

Note 1: This element should only contain a person's unofficial name. The official names are represented in one or more other .name elements with .name.use = official.

Family Name may be decomposed into specific parts using extensions (de, nl, es related cultures).

The name normally used to address the person.

If only initials are recorded, they may be used in place of the full name parts. Initials may be separated into multiple given names but often aren't due to paractical limitations. This element is not called "first name" since given names do not always come first.

Part of the name that is acquired as a title due to academic, legal, employment or nobility status, etc. and that appears at the start of the name.

Health professional’s telephone number(s) or e-mail address(es).

The cardinality mismatch between the zib (0..1) and FHIR (0..*) is explained by the containers TelephoneNumbers (0..*) and EmailAddresses (0..*) inside the ContactInformation model. The FHIR datatype ContactPoint does not have these containers.

Need to know how to reach a practitioner independent to any roles the practitioner may have.

Details for all kinds of technology mediated contact points for a person or organization, including telephone, email, etc.

Implementation of the "TelephoneNumbers" concept of zib ContactInformation.

Please note that, although the zib concepts TelecomType and NumberType are functionally equivalent to the FHIR concepts ContactPoint.system and ContactPoint.use respectively, a mismatch occurs on the concept of mobile phone numbers; the zib uses the first concept and FHIR the second. For this reason, the ValueSet on ContactPoint.system is too narrow and the zib code will need to be communicated using the ext-CodeSpecification extension.

A health professional is a person who is authorized to perform actions in the field of individual healthcare.

The zib HealthProfessional is mapped for all but one concept (HealthProfessionalRole) to this Practitioner profile and a profile on PractitionerRole (http://nictiz.nl/fhir/StructureDefinition/nl-core-HealthProfessional-PractitionerRole). The PractitionerRole resource covers the recording of the location and types of services that HealthProfessionals are able to provide for a HealthcareProvider. The zib concepts Specialty and HealthcareProvider are therefore mapped onto PractitionerRole.

Although the zib concept name HealthProfessionalRole superficially seems to match the PractitionerRole resource, this is not the case based on the definition and values of that concept. In FHIR, the role that a HealthProfessional fulfills is captured as part of the clinical resource for that specific case, for example in the Procedure.performer.role element. This prevents the creation of duplicate HealthProfessional instances for each clinical situation where the HealthProfessional performs a different role in the process.

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

The base language in which the resource is written.

Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

A human language.

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later.

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags In their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

Partner’s official last name.

The actual value

One of a person’s official first names or the initial if the full name is not known.

This element can be used to represent full given names or initials. extension:givenOrInitial SHALL be used on each repretition to specifiy if it's a full name (BR) or an initial (IN).

Zib compatibility

Tthis element is used to represent the FirstNames and Initials concepts of zib NameInformation, but the FHIR implementation deviates from the zib model. The zib defines these concepts as a list of official first names (as a single string) and a list of initials (as a single string), both optional. They both represent the official name(s) of a person and thus represent the same concept. In FHIR however, each first name is either a complete name or an initial, but not both. In addition, each name may be defined separately.

Therefore, the zib concepts are implemented here in the following way:

• Systems SHOULD use a .given element for each official first name that they know of (either as a full name or an initial), in order of appearance (as specified by FHIR).
• Each of these elements:
  • SHOULD be populated with the complete name if it is known, or with the initial if no more information is available.
  • As noted, it SHALL be augmented with extension:givenOrInitial.

Initials should thus not be communicated for each complete first name that is known, in contrast to what is specified by the zib. Receiving systems can recreate initials from the full names if needed.

If a system does however only have a list of official first names and a separate list of official initials, without knowing the relationship between these two, only the full names SHOULD be communicated, while an additional .name instance MAY be used to communicate the initials. It is expected that the second instance just contains the initials and no other information from the zib. Receiving systems MAY ignore the second instance.

Note 1: The GivenName concept should not be included here but in a separate .name instance where .use = usual.

Note 2: As specified by FHIR, multiple official first names MAY be combined in a single .given element (separated by spaces), as long as the .given elements can be concatenated to form the full first name representation, and the 'extension:givenOrInitial` is used to mark the element as containing either full names or the initials. This pattern is strongly discouraged as it is hard to determine if the value pertains multiple names or a single combined name containing spaces.

unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references)

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions.

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

The actual value

Noble and scientific titles. These can assist in formulating oral and formal addresing titles.

The zib concept 'titles' is mapped to elements HumanName.prefix and HumanName.suffix. Semantically this mapping is not complete: the zib uses a single concept that contains all the required information about noble and scientific titles, while FHIR captures the same information in a structured way.

Export:

Systems are expected to transform as much as possible to the FHIR datamodel and thereby to be as explicit as possible. Note that in order to mark the type of a prefix, you can use the FHIR standard extension for ISO 21090 EN Qualifiers.

This .name element represents the Dutch given name ("roepnaam") according to the zib NameInformation v1.1 (2020).

Note 1: This element should only contain a person's unofficial name. The official names are represented in one or more other .name elements with .name.use = official.

Note 2: The examples illustrate how the zib is mapped to FHIR.

The name(s) that a Practitioner is known by. Where there are multiple, the name that the practitioner is usually known as should be used in the display.

Unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references). This may be any string value that does not contain spaces.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Identifies the purpose for this name.

Applications can assume that a name is current unless it explicitly says that it is temporary or old.

The use of a human name.

Allows the appropriate name for a particular context of use to be selected from among a set of names.

Specifies the entire name as it should be displayed e.g. on an application UI. This may be provided instead of or as well as the specific parts.

Can provide both a text representation and parts. Applications updating a name SHALL ensure that when both text and parts are present, no content is included in the text that isn't found in a part.

A renderable, unencoded form.

The part of a name that links to the genealogy. In some cultures (e.g. Eritrea) the family name of a son is the first name of his father.

Family Name may be decomposed into specific parts using extensions (de, nl, es related cultures).

The name normally used to address the person.

If only initials are recorded, they may be used in place of the full name parts. Initials may be separated into multiple given names but often aren't due to paractical limitations. This element is not called "first name" since given names do not always come first.

Part of the name that is acquired as a title due to academic, legal, employment or nobility status, etc. and that appears at the start of the name.

Part of the name that is acquired as a title due to academic, legal, employment or nobility status, etc. and that appears at the end of the name.

Indicates the period of time when this name was valid for the named person.

Allows names to be placed in historical context.

Health professional’s telephone number(s) or e-mail address(es).

The cardinality mismatch between the zib (0..1) and FHIR (0..*) is explained by the containers TelephoneNumbers (0..*) and EmailAddresses (0..*) inside the ContactInformation model. The FHIR datatype ContactPoint does not have these containers.

Need to know how to reach a practitioner independent to any roles the practitioner may have.

Details for all kinds of technology mediated contact points for a person or organization, including telephone, email, etc.

Implementation of the "TelephoneNumbers" concept of zib ContactInformation.

Please note that, although the zib concepts TelecomType and NumberType are functionally equivalent to the FHIR concepts ContactPoint.system and ContactPoint.use respectively, a mismatch occurs on the concept of mobile phone numbers; the zib uses the first concept and FHIR the second. For this reason, the ValueSet on ContactPoint.system is too narrow and the zib code will need to be communicated using the ext-CodeSpecification extension.

Need to know how to reach a practitioner independent to any roles the practitioner may have.

Details for all kinds of technology mediated contact points for a person or organization, including telephone, email, etc.

Implementation of the "EmailAddresses" concept of zib ContactInformation.

Need to know how to reach a practitioner independent to any roles the practitioner may have.

An address expressed using postal conventions (as opposed to GPS or other location definition formats). This data type may be used to convey addresses for use in delivering mail as well as for visiting locations which might not be valid for mail delivery. There are a variety of postal address formats defined around the world.

This datatype defines a common basis for expressing all addresses around the world, but adds extensions to express Dutch addresses specifically, according to the zib AddressInformation v1.1 (2020). A Dutch Address still is a proper FHIR Address, which means that systems that cannot interpret the extensions will still be able to render and work with this datatype.

To have true compatibility an implementer SHOULD use the core Address parts as intended. To have addresses work for Dutch context, the implementer SHOULD in addition use the extension elements.

Separate address parts

The first addition is that Dutch addresses make certain address parts separately communicable. These parts are required for use in true Dutch systems when dealing with Dutch addresses, but may not have value for international systems when information gets sent abroad.

Custom address types

The second addition is that the zib defines its own ValueSet for address types, which can only be partially expressed using the FHIR Address datatype and requires a mapping to multiple elements. The table below explains how the zib concepts are mapped to the various FHIR elements (see the ConceptMaps http://nictiz.nl/fhir/ConceptMap/AdresSoortCodelijst-to-AddressUse and http://nictiz.nl/fhir/ConceptMap/AdresSoortCodelijst-to-AddressType as well). The code from the zib should also be included using the extension on Address.extension:addressType.

If Address.type is both then this is to be understood as a dual purpose address (postal and physical), unless a specific postal type address is added. Systems that support importing it like this are encouraged to do so, otherwise they may need to import this as two separate addresses.

Note: FHIR core defines the AD-use extension to further specify the postal address type. However, the ValueSet used in that extension doesn't completely match the zib ValueSet. Therefore, a custom extension has been made. This doesn't preclude the use of the AD-use extension.

The home/mailing address of the practitioner is often required for employee administration purposes, and also for some rostering services where the start point (practitioners home) can be used in calculations.

Patient’s administrative gender.

Use ConceptMap GeslachtCodelijst-to-AdministrativeGender to translate terminology from the functional model to profile terminology in ValueSet AdministrativeGender. This ConceptMap is based on GeslachtCodelijst as defined in the zib Patient to avoid duplication of ConceptMaps. The GeslachtCodelijst of Patient and HealthProfessional are identical in terms of codes.

Needed to address the person correctly.

unique id for the element within a resource (for internal references)

Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.

The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.

Value of extension - must be one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility for a list).

Primitive value for code

The date of birth for the practitioner.

Needed for identification.

Image of the person.

Many EHR systems have the capability to capture an image of patients and personnel. Fits with newer social media usage too.

The official certifications, training, and licenses that authorize or otherwise pertain to the provision of care by the practitioner. For example, a medical license issued by a medical board authorizing the practitioner to practice medicine within a certian locality.
