2026 US Quality Core Implementation Guide
0.5.0 - release United States of America flag

This page is part of the US Quality Core (v0.5.0: Release) based on FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) R4. This is the current published version in its permanent home (it will always be available at this URL). For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions

Resource Profile: US Quality Core PractitionerRole

Official URL: http://fhir.org/guides/onc/us-quality-core/StructureDefinition/us-quality-core-practitionerrole Version: 0.5.0
Active as of 2026-06-05 Computable Name: USQualityCorePractitionerRole

Profile of PractitionerRole for decision support/quality metrics. Defines the core set of elements and extensions for quality rule and measure authors.

USCDI+ Quality Element Support Expectations

Systems are expected to support this profile as part of implementing USCDI+ Quality V1 in FHIR and meeting the conformance requirements of this guide.

The following elements are specifically relevant to USCDI+ Quality V1 data classes and elements. Systems are expected to support these elements as applicable to their role in US Quality Core data exchange. See the Must Support section of this guide for more information. These elements are tagged as (USCDI+ Quality) in the formal profile views.

USCDI+ Quality Elements:

  • identifier: (USCDI+ Quality) Business Identifiers that are specific to a role/location
  • identifier.system: (USCDI+ Quality) The namespace for the identifier value
  • identifier.value: (USCDI+ Quality) The value that is unique
  • practitioner: (USCDI+ Quality) Practitioner that is able to provide the defined services for the organization
  • code: (USCDI+ Quality) Roles which this practitioner may perform
  • specialty: (USCDI+ Quality) Specific specialty of the practitioner
  • location: (USCDI+ Quality) The location(s) at which this practitioner provides care
  • telecom: (USCDI+ Quality) Contact details that are specific to the role/location/service
  • telecom.system: (USCDI+ Quality) phone | fax | email | pager | url | sms | other
  • telecom.value: (USCDI+ Quality) The actual contact point details

Because this profile is derived from US Core, systems are also expected to support Must Support requirements and (USCDI) tagged elements inherited from US Core. The Formal Views section also provides the formal summary, definitions, terminology requirements, and mandatory element requirements.
