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.

Summary

Mandatory: 1 element
Must-Support: 7 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: 1

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.

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-prescriber-number|553255&_include=PractitionerRole:practitioner
   2. GET [base]/PractitionerRole?identifier=http://ns.electronichealth.net.au/id/medicare-prescriber-number|553255

   Implementation Notes: Fetches a bundle containing any 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/hi/hpii/1.0|8003619900015717

   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:
