AU Core Implementation Guide
2.0.1-ci-build - CI Build AU

AU Core Implementation Guide, published by HL7 Australia. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 2.0.1-ci-build built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/hl7au/au-fhir-core/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

## Resource Profile: AU Core PractitionerRole

Official URL: http://hl7.org.au/fhir/core/StructureDefinition/au-core-practitionerrole | Version: 2.0.1-ci-build
Standards status: Trial-use | Maturity Level: 2 | Computable Name: AUCorePractitionerRole

This profile sets minimum expectations for a PractitionerRole resource to record, search, and fetch a practitioner role for a practitioner associated with a patient. It is based on the AU Base PractitionerRole profile and identifies the additional mandatory core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that SHALL be present in the PractitionerRole resource when conforming to this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases in an Australian context.

See Comparison with other national and international IGs for a comparison between AU Core profiles and profiles in other implementation guides.

### Usage Scenarios

The following are supported usage scenarios for this profile:

- Record or update information about a practitioner in a role referenced by another resource
- Read information about a practitioner in a role referenced by another resource

### Profile Specific Implementation Guidance

- Even though AU Core Profiles allow both PractitionerRole and Practitioner to be referenced, because PractitionerRole supplies a provider’s location, contact information, and reference to the Practitioner, it SHOULD be referenced instead of the Practitioner resource.
- If a system only supports Practitioner, the system SHALL provide implementation specific guidance how to access a provider’s location and contact information using only the Practitioner resource.
- Requesters can request responders return the Practitioner resource using `_include`, see the Notes section below.
- See guidance on the construction of an identifier on the relevant Identifier profile page and the section on Business Identifiers in AU Base.

Usages:

- Refer to this Profile: AU Core Pathology Result Observation, AU Core Diagnostic Result Observation, AU Core Encounter and AU Core MedicationRequest
- Examples for this Profile: PractitionerRole/bobrester-bob-gp, PractitionerRole/cardiologist-sallie-sutherland, PractitionerRole/nephrologist-darleen-mackay and PractitionerRole/surgeon-chau-fryer
- CapabilityStatements using this Profile: AU Core Requester CapabilityStatement and AU Core Responder CapabilityStatement

You can also check for usages in the FHIR IG Statistics

Changes since version 1.0.0:

- The resource metadata has changed (description)
- The data elements list has changed

This structure is derived from AUBasePractitionerRole

Summary

Mandatory: 1 element
Must-Support: 9 elements

Structures

This structure refers to these other structures:

- AU Medicare Provider Number (http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/au-medicareprovidernumber)
- AU Core Practitioner (http://hl7.org.au/fhir/core/StructureDefinition/au-core-practitioner)
- AU Core Organization (http://hl7.org.au/fhir/core/StructureDefinition/au-core-organization)

Slices

This structure defines the following Slices:

- The element 1 is sliced based on the value of PractitionerRole.identifier

Maturity: 2

Other representations of profile: CSV, Excel, Schematron

### Notes:

Below is an overview of the mandatory and optional search parameters and combined search parameters. See the AU Core CapabilityStatements for a complete list of supported RESTful interactions for this IG.

FHIR search operations are described here and the syntax used to describe AU Core interactions is defined here.

Any search parameter defined in FHIR may be 'allowed' by the system unless explicitly marked as "SHALL NOT". A few items are marked as MAY in this implementation guide to highlight their potential relevance.

Parameter(s) | Conformance | Type(s) | Requirements (when used alone or in combination)
--- | --- | --- | ---
identifier | SHALL | `token` | The requester SHALL provide both the system and code values. The responder SHALL support both. The requester SHOULD support search using a Medicare Provider Number identifier as defined in the profile. The responder SHOULD support search using a Medicare Provider Number identifier as defined in the profile.
practitioner | SHALL | `reference` | The requester SHALL provide at least an id value and MAY provide both the Type and id values. The responder SHALL support both. The requester SHALL provide at least a code value and SHOULD provide both the system and code values. The requester SHOULD support chained search practitioner.identifier using a HPI-I identifier as defined in the AU Core Practitioner profile. The responder SHOULD support chained search practitioner.identifier using a HPI-I identifier as defined in the AU Core Practitioner profile.
_id | SHOULD | `token` |
specialty | SHOULD | `token` | The requester SHALL provide at least a code value and MAY provide both the system and code values. The responder SHALL support both.
role | SHOULD | `token` | The requester SHALL provide at least a code value and MAY provide both the system and code values. The responder SHALL support both.
organization | MAY | `reference` | The requester SHALL provide at least an id value and MAY provide both the Type and id values. The responder SHALL support both.

#### Mandatory Search Parameters

The following search parameters SHALL be supported:

1. SHALL support searching using the `identifier` search parameter:
   - SHOULD support these `_include` parameters: `PractitionerRole:practitioner`

   `GET [base]/PractitionerRole?identifier=[system|][code]`

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/PractitionerRole?identifier=http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/id/medicare-provider-number|2426621B&_include=PractitionerRole:practitioner
   2. GET [base]/PractitionerRole?identifier=http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/id/medicare-provider-number|2426621B

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle containing all PractitionerRole resources matching the identifier (how to search by token)

2. SHALL support searching using the `practitioner` search parameters:
   - SHOULD support chained searching of practitioner canonical identifier `practitioner.identifier` (e.g. `practitioner.identifier=[system|][code]`)
   - SHOULD support these `_include` parameters: `PractitionerRole:practitioner`

   `GET [base]/PractitionerRole?practitioner={Type/}[id]` or optionally `GET [base]/PractitionerRole?practitioner.identifier=[system|][code]`

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/PractitionerRole?practitioner=Practitioner/sandyson-sandy
   2. GET [base]/PractitionerRole?practitioner=Practitioner/sandyson-sandy&_include=PractitionerRole:practitioner
   3. GET [base]/PractitionerRole?practitioner.identifier=http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/id/medicare-provider-number|2426621B

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all PractitionerRole resources matching the specified practitioner (how to search by reference and how to search by token)

#### Optional Search Parameters

The following search parameters and search parameter combinations SHOULD be supported:

1. SHOULD support searching using the `_id` search parameter:
   - SHOULD support these `_include` parameters: `PractitionerRole:practitioner`

   `GET [base]/PractitionerRole?_id=[id]`

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/PractitionerRole/_id=5678
   2. GET [base]/PractitionerRole?_id=5678&_include=PractitionerRole:practitioner

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle with the requested PractitionerRole, instead of just the resource itself, and allows for the inclusion of additional search parameters such as _include, _revinclude, or _lastUpdated (how to search by id of the resource)

2. SHOULD support searching using the `specialty` search parameter:
   - SHOULD support these `_include` parameters: `PractitionerRole:practitioner`

   `GET [base]/PractitionerRole?specialty={system|}[code]`

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/PractitionerRole?specialty=http://snomed.info/sct|408443003
   2. GET [base]/PractitionerRole?specialty=http://snomed.info/sct|408443003&_include=PractitionerRole:practitioner

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all PractitionerRole resources for the specified specialty (how to search by token)

3. SHOULD support searching using the `role` search parameter:
   - SHOULD support these `_include` parameters: `PractitionerRole:practitioner`

   `GET [base]/PractitionerRole?role={system|}[code]`

   Example:

   1. GET [base]/PractitionerRole?role=http://snomed.info/sct|304292004
   2. GET [base]/PractitionerRole?role=http://snomed.info/sct|304292004&_include=PractitionerRole:practitioner

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle of all PractitionerRole resources for the specified role (how to search by token)
