A health professional is a person who is authorized to perform actions in the field of individual healthcare.

The zib HealthProfessional is mapped for all but one concept (HealthProfessionalRole) to a profile on Practitioner (http://nictiz.nl/fhir/StructureDefinition/nl-core-HealthProfessional-Practitioner) and this PractitionerRole profile. The PractitionerRole resource covers the recording of the location and types of services that HealthProfessionals are able to provide for a HealthcareProvider. The zib concepts Specialty and HealthcareProvider are therefore mapped onto PractitionerRole.

Although the zib concept name HealthProfessionalRole superficially seems to match the PractitionerRole resource, this is not the case based on the definition and values of that concept. In FHIR, the role that a HealthProfessional fulfills is captured as part of the clinical resource for that specific case, for example in the Procedure.performer.role element. This prevents the creation of duplicate HealthProfessional instances for each clinical situation where the HealthProfessional performs a different role in the process.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

Specific specialty of the practitioner.

Specific specialty associated with the agency.

Health professional’s medical specialty. This refers to the recognized medical specialties as stated in the BIG Act. For example general practitioner or cardiologist.

The zib concept Specialty is mapped to a slice on the .specialty element instead of the element itself so that other terminology can be used next to the terminology required by the zib.

Specific specialty associated with the agency.

Health professional’s telephone number(s) or e-mail address(es) that are specific to the role/location/service.

The cardinality mismatch between the zib (0..1) and FHIR (0..*) is explained by the containers TelephoneNumbers (0..*) and EmailAddresses (0..*) inside the ContactInformation model. The FHIR datatype ContactPoint does not have these containers.

Often practitioners have a dedicated line for each location (or service) that they work at, and need to be able to define separate contact details for each of these.

Details for all kinds of technology mediated contact points for a person or organization, including telephone, email, etc.

Implementation of the "TelephoneNumbers" concept of zib ContactInformation.

Please note that, although the zib concepts TelecomType and NumberType are functionally equivalent to the FHIR concepts ContactPoint.system and ContactPoint.use respectively, a mismatch occurs on the concept of mobile phone numbers; the zib uses the first concept and FHIR the second. For this reason, the ValueSet on ContactPoint.system is too narrow and the zib code will need to be communicated using the ext-CodeSpecification extension.

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

The base language in which the resource is written.

Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

A human language.

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later.

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags In their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Business Identifiers that are specific to a role/location.

Often, specific identities are assigned for the agent.

Whether this practitioner role record is in active use.

If this value is false, you may refer to the period to see when the role was in active use. If there is no period specified, no inference can be made about when it was active.

Need to be able to mark a practitioner role record as not to be used because it was created in error, or otherwise no longer in active use.

The period during which the person is authorized to act as a practitioner in these role(s) for the organization.

Even after the agencies is revoked, the fact that it existed must still be recorded.

Practitioner that is able to provide the defined services for the organization.

The organization the health professional works for.

A HealthcareProvider in zib terms is primarily a location where care is provided, and so the zib concept HealthcareProvider (NL-CM:17.1.6) would normally be fulfilled using a reference to a Location resource (profile nl-core-HealthcareProvider). However, this particular context refers to the organizational aspects of a HealthcareProvider rather than its physical location:

• the zib concept name is not preceded by a role indicator of the zib (like Location::HealthcareProvider, concept id NL-CM:14.1.5, in the zib Procedure).
• the PractitionerRole.location cardinality (0..*) does not match the zib concept (0..1) and restricting it is not correct as a health professional could be working on multiple locations.

Therefore, this concept is fulfilled using a reference to the Organization resource (profile nl-core-HealthcareProvider-Organization) and mapped onto PractitionerRole.organization instead of PractitionerRole.location.

Roles which this practitioner is authorized to perform for the organization.

A person may have more than one role.

The role a person plays representing an organization.

The reason that can be presented to the user as to why this time is not available.

Service is not available (seasonally or for a public holiday) from this date.

A description of site availability exceptions, e.g. public holiday availability. Succinctly describing all possible exceptions to normal site availability as details in the available Times and not available Times.

Technical endpoints providing access to services operated for the practitioner with this role.

Organizations have multiple systems that provide various services and ,ay also be different for practitioners too.

So the endpoint satisfies the need to be able to define the technical connection details for how to connect to them, and for what purpose.
