Topic: Indicate PCP for PractitionerRole
Fred Harmon (Oct 21 2020 at 14:35):
Hello,
I'm looking for the right way to indicate that a practitioner is a primary care physician on the PractitionerRole resource. The code element appears the be the right place and it is bound to "PractitionerRole Code" (https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/davinci-pdex-plan-net/ValueSet-PractitionerRoleVS.html) I don't see a good option for indicating PCP here.
I did find that this value set https://www.hl7.org/fhir/valueset-practitioner-role.html includes PCP as it includes codes form SNOMED. It would seem based on the IG though that I can't use this valueset and am required to use the set for plan-net.
Thanks for any help you may provide.

Hi Fred,
Did you get any feedback on this? I'm interested as well.

PractitonerRole isn't normally used for relationship to patients. The http://hl7.org/fhir/valueset-participant-role.html valueset is referred from CareTeam which normally handles that kind of relationship. If doing this from a patient's point of view, you'd use Patient.generalPractitioner and show the relationship there.

You might find this information in two places:
1) The Practitioner.qualification or PractitionerRole.extension.qualification (specified with https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/davinci-pdex-plan-net/ValueSet-IndividualSpecialtyAndDegreeLicenseCertificateVS.html, includes Family Medicine Physician, or Internal Medicine Physician)
2) The PractitionerRole.specialty (specified with https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/davinci-pdex-plan-net/ValueSet-IndividualAndGroupSpecialtiesVS.html)
