### StructureDefinition: ADHA Core Practitioner [Active]

The purpose of this profile is to define a core representation a practitioner for the electronic exchange of health information between individuals, healthcare providers, and the My Health Record system infrastructure in Australia. The concept of a practitioner in this implementation guide is always within the context of a practitioner role - as the practitioner that performs the role(s). In the context of an exchange of health information a practitioner is part of the context established for a set of healthcare-related information.

This profile identifies the additional constraints, extensions, and value sets that build on and extend Practitioner that are supported.

A Practitioner resource is used within the context of a referencing resource (most commonly a PractitionerRole resource).

This profile is designed to set a core Practitioner standard for:

- Querying practitioners referenced in PractitionerRole or other resources
- Recording or updating a practitioner referenced by a PractitionerRole or other resource

#### Profile specific guidance

None.

#### Boundaries and relationships

This profile is referenced by ADHA Authoring PractitionerRole and ADHA Core PractitionerRole.
