Topic: Provider Number again
Brett Esler (Mar 10 2017 at 06:42):
Original representation for provider number was as Practitioner.Identifier with Identifier extension to reference Location - multiple provider numbers could be supplied.
With PractionerRole in current build this is in context of 0..1 PractitionerRole.organization - so if we consider moving provider number to PractitionerRole.Identifier then we still have PractitionerRole.location 0..* and the possibility of multiple provider numbers (correct?)
Should we:
a) move provider number to PractionerRole.Identifier with an extension for Location reference
b) create a profile to constrain PractionerRole.location to 0..1 and thus allow provider number to appear once in PractitionerRole.identifer
c) leave ProviderNumber where it is in Practitioner.Identifier with possible multiple provider numbers with Location reference extension?
Brett Esler (Mar 10 2017 at 06:44):
PractitionerRole also has availability time that would be for the organisation rather than a location - so constraining PractionerRole.location to 0..1 is somewhat appealling for that use also i.e. specific availability at a location...

I like this proposal too.
