[Glen Marshall [SRS]]

We should reference the more general concept of credentialing.  This includes things like:

  *   State-issued medical practices licenses for physicians, PAs, NPs, RNs, dentists, and other licenses health providers such as pharmacy, clinical psychology, chiropractic, physical therapy, massage therapy, EMT, etc.
  *   Professional specialty certification granted by a nationally-recognized accreditation authority, such as pediatrics, surgery, psychiatry, pathology, radiology, etc.
  *   Institutional credentialing, such as hospital admitting privileges, joint practices, employment, contractual affiliation, etc.

These concepts include authentication of the credential-issuing body, i.e., something more than a text-string name.

I recommend incorporating/referencing existing work products from HL7, including standards already published for the healthcare role vocabulary.
