Summary

Mandatory: 4 elements
Must-Support: 1 element
Prohibited: 22 elements

Structures

This structure refers to these other structures:

• AU AHPRA Registration Number (http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/au-ahpraregistrationnumber)
• nhsd-resource-identifier (http://fhir.nhsd.com.au/StructureDefinition/nhsd-resource-identifier)

Slices

This structure defines the following Slices:

• There is a slice with no discriminator at Practitioner.identifier

IMPORTANT NOTES ON SEARCH BEHAVIOUR

NHSD recommends search using POST with for complex search scenarios.

For further information and examples, refer to the capability statement

Read: Practitioner

Read identified practitioner resource content.

GET [base]/Practitioner/[id]

Example: 
GET [base]/Practitioner/bd9fb7ed-3a80-4951-90a4-cb2ef4e815b7

Support: Read Practitioner

Implementation Notes:

Search by Practitioner Name

Search based on family, given and/or any name.

GET [base]/Practitioner?family=[string]
GET [base]/Practitioner?family=[string]&given=[string]
GET [base]/Practitioner?name=[string]

Example:

GET [base]/Practitioner?family=Phillip
GET [base]/Practitioner?family=Phillip&given=David
GET [base]/Practitioner?name=Brown

Support: Search by family, given and name.

Implementation Notes:

Pagination

• NHSD supports paging using page and _count param to fetch Practitioner resources. By default the count is 10.

GET [base]/Practitioner?_format=json&page=1&_count=10

Refer to the capability statement for further details on paging support through Bundle.Links
