Description

Practitioner

This topic describes information for the Practitioner resource.

Overview

Note:

The FHIR API endpoints described below are currently pending production deployment for electronic health record (EHR) environments. Developers are welcome and encouraged to develop against the specifications in anticipation of production availability, which will be announced at a later date.

The Practitioner resource provides information about a person formally involved in the care of a patient on behalf of a healthcare facility (for example, physicians, nurses, pharmacists, therapists, technologists, and social workers).

Note:

Use US Core Practitioner when the telecom or address you are sharing is person-level (in other words, it follows the clinician regardless of where they work), and you do not need to express anything about where or how they practice. For example, a clinician's general phone number or email address. If you need organization or location context or role-specific telecom, use the PractitionerRole resource (linked to the practitioner).

Profile Support

This resource supports the US Core Practitioner Profile from the HL7 FHIR US Core Implementation Guide STU 6.1.0.

Note:

The examples provided here are nonnormative and replaying them in the public sandbox is not guaranteed to yield the results shown on the site.
