Profile of Practitioner 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) An identifier for the person as this agent
- identifier.system: (USCDI+ Quality) The namespace for the identifier value
- identifier.value: (USCDI+ Quality) The value that is unique
- identifier:NPI: (USCDI+ Quality) An identifier for the person as this agent
- identifier:NPI.system: (USCDI+ Quality) The namespace for the identifier value
- identifier:NPI.value: (USCDI+ Quality) The value that is unique
- identifier:ein: (USCDI+ Quality) There is not a general Tax Identifier Numer (TIN) OID. There is an SSN, a PTIN, and an ITIN, but no TIN generally. So the only slice specified here is EIN, if consumers determine a need for an SSN, submit a comment to that effect.
- identifier:ein.value: (USCDI+ Quality) The value that is unique
- name: (USCDI+ Quality) The name(s) associated with the practitioner
- name.family: (USCDI+ Quality) Family name (often called 'Surname')
- telecom: (USCDI+ Quality) A contact detail for the practitioner (that apply to all roles)
- telecom.system: (USCDI+ Quality) phone | fax | email | pager | url | sms | other
- telecom.value: (USCDI+ Quality) The actual contact point details
- address: (USCDI+ Quality) Address(es) of the practitioner
- address.line: (USCDI+ Quality) Street name, number, direction & P.O. Box etc.
- address.city: (USCDI+ Quality) Name of city, town etc.
- address.state: (USCDI+ Quality) Sub-unit of country (abbreviations ok)
- address.postalCode: (USCDI+ Quality) US Zip Codes
- address.country: (USCDI+ Quality) Country (e.g. can be ISO 3166 2 or 3 letter code)

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.
