We just completed second version of such service (which used by couple of our clients) - potentially if anybody interested we can open it

First question is - where to put license number? Into identifier's collection?
John Moehrke (Dec 07 2017 at 13:22):
I would say, yes. they are just types of identifiers, identified by their assigning authority, and scoped by the identifier-type

Thank you, John. Should i encode state into system url or create extension for it?
John Moehrke (Dec 07 2017 at 16:09):
I was referring only to the Identifier. The NPI is just an identifier like any other identifier. The other demographics about the clinician would be in the Practitioner or PractitonerRole depending on the deployment decisions. Thus a Provider-Directory is not just identifiers. For example the Profile (Implementation Guide) from IHE http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php/Mobile_Care_Services_Discovery_(mCSD)

Ups, i mean we have downloaded all nppes npi data and serve it like fhir server /Practitioner

@Brian Postlethwaite - gonna update npi registry app - would you like to participate in mapping? Let's use gh issue tracker to discuss translation - https://github.com/HealthSamurai/us-npi/issues
