A profile including requirements for a MedCom Document Practitioner

Scope and usage

This profile describes the MedComDocumentPractitioner, which is used to describe a Practitioner in a MedCom Document standard. The MedComDocumentPractitioner is inherited from the MedComCorePractitioner and requires a given and family name of the practitioner. These requirements are due to the IHE XDS metadata standard (authorPerson attribute) which requires a name.

MedComDocumentPractitioner is broardly defined, and may be used to define all the professionals involved directly or indirectly in citizen and patient care and well-being.
