Practitioner Resource

Introduction

This page documents the implementation of the FHIR Practitioner resource (DSTU2) for the OpenMRS FHIR Module.
The FHIR Practitioner Resource represents a person who is directly or indirectly involved in the provisioning of healthcare.
For more information on the FHIR Practitioner resource, please refer http://hl7-fhir.github.io/practitioner.html

Populating the FHIR Practitioner Resource

Shown below is how attributes of the FHIR Practitioner Resource map to the attributes of the OpenMRS Practitioner object. The left side of the relationship indicates the OpenMRS attribute; the right indicates the FHIR Practitioner resource mapping.
