Details
This document is a reference guide for the 'CareTeam Participant Role' ValueSet, provided by Denmark's eHealth Infrastructure, which is part of the FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) specification. This value set defines 17 concepts, outlining specific roles within a medical team. Examples include 'Clinical Viewer,' 'Careteam Administrator,' 'Order Placer,' and 'Incident Reporter.' These code systems aim not just to indicate user affiliation but also to clearly define the scope of authority and involvement within a system based on specific job functions. By utilizing FHIR standards, it becomes possible to recognize participant roles using common terminology across different healthcare institutions and systems. This prevents misunderstandings in data exchange and significantly contributes to improving system interoperability. Based on FHIR v4.0.1 and published as version 2.9.0, this specification serves as a foundational standard for job role definitions in the eHealth sector.
