Customer Interface Requirements: Practitioner

Overview

Providing information about the customer interface requirements for the merged resource type Practitioner

Resource specific requirements

All Practitioner resources must contain at least one Identifier. As with all Identifiers, this must contain a system and value. Example:

{
  "resourceType": "Practitioner",
  "identifier": [
    {
      "system": "https://local-practitioner-identifier.com",
      "value": "A888133"
    }
  ]
  ...
}

Adding an Identifier to a Practitioner resource is an assertion that you are guaranteeing the identity of the Practitioner, and such identifiers should be treated as immutable. There is no automatic pathway which permits the removal or subsequent amendment of an Identifier once it has been added to a Practitioner; please contact PKB for further details as to the manual corrective pathway in such a case.
A single Practitioner resource must not have more than one Identifier with the same system.
