The practitionerRole resource in FHIR is represented as a combination of HealthcarePractitionerFacility and CareProviderFacilitySpecialty records, where the HealthcarePractitionerFacility record is the base. The CareProviderFacilitySpecialty record is associated to the HealthcarePractitionerFacility record by referencing the HealthcarePractitionerFacility record using the PractitionerFacilityId field on CareProviderFacilitySpecialty. ## FHIR V4​.0 - Clinical ​Data Model Mapping Here’s how the fields defined by FHIR for [PractitionerRole](https://www.hl7.org/fhir/practitionerrole.html) map to the fields in Salesforce​.

Practitioner Resource Salesforce Field Type Salesforce Cardinality Notes
identifier Identifier Object 0​.M The identifier information for a practitioner​Role is represented as Identifier records that reference the Healthcare​Practitioner​Facility record using their Identifier​.Parent​RecordId field​.
active Healthcare​Practitioner​Facility​.IsActive Boolean 0​.1 N/A
period Healthcare​Practitioner​Facility​.Effective​From Date 0​.1 Because Salesforce doesn’t support a native period data type, the practitioner​Role​​.period FHIR resource is flattened to a set of from and to dates​.

organization Healthcare​Practitioner​Facility​.Account​​Id Lookup: Account 0​.1

N/A
code CareProvider​Facility​Specialty​.Specialty​Role Picklist 0​.M

While FHIR defines practitioner​Role​.code as a code set bundle, its Salesforce implementation is a picklist​.

Zero-to-many values can be associated by creating multiple CareProvider​Facility​Specialty​ records that reference a Healthcare​Practitioner​Facility​ record. However, a single CareProvider​Facility​Specialty​ record can have only one combination of role and specialty.
specialty CareProvider​Facility​Specialty​.Specialty​Id Lookup: CareSpecialty 0​.M

While FHIR defines practitioner​Role​.code as a code set bundle, its Salesforce implementation is a CareSpecialty reference​.

Zero-to-many values can be associated by creating multiple CareProvider​Facility​Specialty​ records that reference a Healthcare​Practitioner​Facility​ record. However, a single CareProvider​Facility​Specialty​ record can have only one combination of role and specialty.
location Healthcare​Practitioner​Facility​.Healthcare​Facility​Id Lookup: Healthcare​Facility 0​.1

The Salesforce implementation supports only one practitioner​Role​.location reference for each practitioner role.

availableTime Healthcare​Practitioner​Facility​.Operating​HoursId Operating​Hours 0.M Even though only one Operating​Hours record can be referenced from a Healthcare​Practitioner​Facility record, multiple time slots can be added to that Operating​Hours record. As such, zero-to-many available time values can be added to a single Healthcare​Practitioner​Facility record through a single Operating​Hours reference.
