Practitioner profile based on NL Core HealthProfessional Practitioner and aligned with IHE mCSD Practitioner constraints. The parent Nictiz NL Core profile does not currently resolve reliably in all tooling; when needed, inspect it manually via Simplifier, for example through https://simplifier.net/nictiz-r4-zib2020.
