Shared Health Specification and Guide Version 5.0


v5.0 of this specification has been superseded by v5.3. v5.3 is compatible but adds additional features for Quebec.

The version (Bundle.meta.tag:version) that is sent in the message will remain PrescribeIT5.0

NameCard.TypeConstraints and Usage
.  Practitioner 0..*PractitionerDefinition:
A person who is directly or indirectly involved in the provisioning of healthcare.


Comments:
For locum Practitioners, only one identifier - the license number - can be provided as locums are not registered in the Provider Registry.

..  id 1..1idDefinition:
The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.


Comments:
Conformance Note: This will be a GUID assigned by the sending application in the form urn:uuid:[guid]. Ideally, this GUID will be consistent for all messages referencing the same practitioner.

..  extension 0..*ExtensionSlice: Unordered, Open by value:url

1..1Practitioner Locum IndicatorDefinition:
An Extension

..  identifier 0..*Shared Health Person IdentifierSlice: Unordered, Open by value:type.coding.system, value:type.coding.code
Definition:
A technical identifier - identifies some entity uniquely and unambiguously.


Comments:
Only the license identifier is expected - denoted by an Identifier.type.coding.code of 'LN'. Conformance Rule: The Provider Registry identifier SHALL be sent if the practioner is the initiating practitioner for the tasks in a message. The Provider Registry identifier SHOULD be sent if known if the practitioner is being sent for other purposes (e.g. the prescriber of a prescription for which a renewal is being sought).



When transmitting the provider registry identifier, the system shall be 'http://sharedhealth.exchange/fhir/NamingSystem/registry-id-practitioner' and the value shall be the provider-registry assigned id (and SHALL be the same value as in Practitioner.id). The Identifier.type shall have a coding from the 'http://hl7.org/fhir/v2/0203' system of 'LR'.



When transmitting the provider license number (always mandatory), the Identifier.type shall have a coding from the 'http://hl7.org/fhir/v2/0203' system of 'LN'. The system will be a standard OID (refer to the implementation guide) for the specific license type expressed as a urn (e.g. urn:oid:1.2.3.4). A list of OIDs for different license types can be found in the Vendor Implementation Guide. In a future version of this specification, we may be migrating from OIDs to more readable URL’s. You can plan for this in your design. Conformance Rule: The second identifier provided will be the licence ID of the Prescriber. The assigning authority OID will be determined based on the licencing body; a list of which is found within the Vendor Implementation guide.

..  identifier
     (license)
0..10IdentifierDefinition:
An identifier that applies to this person in this role.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: Only a single licence number can be submitted. For Prescriber's with multiple licence numbers, the licence number must be the one that the Prescriber is acting under the authority of when Prescribing.

...  type 1..1Shared Health CodeableConcept CodeBinding: IdentifierType (20210501) (extensible)
Definition:
A concept that may be defined by a formal reference to a terminology or ontology or may be provided by text.


Comments:


....  coding 1..*CodingDefinition:
A reference to a code defined by a terminology system.


Comments:
Codes may be defined very casually in enumerations, or code lists, up to very formal definitions such as SNOMED CT - see the HL7 v3 Core Principles for more information. Ordering of codings is undefined and SHALL NOT be used to infer meaning. Generally, at most only one of the coding values will be labelled as UserSelected = true.

.....  system 1..1uriFixed Value: http://hl7.org/fhir/v2/0203
Definition:
The identification of the code system that defines the meaning of the symbol in the code.


Comments:
Fixed value: http://hl7.org/fhir/v2/0203

.....  code 1..1codeFixed Value: LN
Definition:
A symbol in syntax defined by the system. The symbol may be a predefined code or an expression in a syntax defined by the coding system (e.g. post-coordination).


Comments:
Fixed value: LN

...  system 1..1uriBinding: SharedPractitionerIdentifierType (required)
Example' General': http://www.acme.com/identifiers/patient or urn:ietf:rfc:3986 if the Identifier.value itself is a full uri
Definition:
Establishes the namespace in which set of possible id values is unique.


Comments:
The jurisdictional licensing body (e.g. College of Physicians and Surgeons) that issued the practitioner’s license, chosen from terminology binding (this will be an OID expressed as a URI).

...  value 1..1stringExample' General': 123456
Definition:
The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system.


Comments:
This is the Practitioner license number

..  name 1..1Shared Health HumanNameDefinition:
A human's name with the ability to identify parts and usage.


Comments:
Conformance Rule: Set use = Professional; Alias is optional.

..  telecom 0..*Shared Health ContactPointcpt-2: A system is required if a value is provided.
Definition:
This segment provide methods of contacting the practitioner. Only numbers that have authorized to be disclosed by the practitioner should be included. For example, most practitioners do not authorize the disclosure of their cell phone number to pharmacies.
