SourceFSH · JSON

Represents a human that practices medicine -- the stable clinical identity that an EMR user login resolves to. Practitioner holds identity, demographics, and qualifications, and carries the EMR user-account identifier. The person's role(s) at organizations/locations are represented by PractitionerRole (0..*), which is the tenant-scoped role binding -- NOT the EMR user. A person may work at multiple organizations, each represented by a PractitionerRole.
