## Resource Profile: QICore Practitioner 

| | | |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| *Official URL*:http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/StructureDefinition/qicore-practitioner | *Version*:7.0.2 | |
| * Standards status: *[Trial-use](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/versions.html#std-process) | [Maturity Level](http://hl7.org/fhir/versions.html#maturity): 4 | *Computable Name*:QICorePractitioner |

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

"Must Have", "QI Elements" and "primary code path" are defined in the
[QI-Core Must Support section](index.md#mustsupport-flag).

**Must Have:**
* name: The name(s) associated with the practitioner
* identifier: (QI) An identifier for the person as this agent

**QI Elements:**
* identifier.use: (QI) usual | official | temp | secondary | old (If known)
* identifier(NPI): (QI) An identifier for the person as this agent
* identifier.value: (QI) The value that is unique
* identifier(ein): (QI) 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.system: (QI) The namespace for the identifier value

**Usage** 
  See the [patterns](patterns.md) page for implementation and usage patterns.
