      The Scope and usage section on the PractitionerRole will be updated to add in a new sentence at the end:

      "For use cases where an organization has activities where a practitioner is not defined/pre-allocated for a specific role (e.g. An un-named surgeon at XYZ Hospital), a PractitionerRole resource can be used with an empty Practitioner property, and the other relevant role properties populated - i.e. code, organization"

       

      Additionally we will add into the end of the Boundaries and Relationships additional notes referring to the relationship between the clinical resources (and others) the PractitionerRole and Practitioner indicating when you would reference a Practitioner vs a PractitionerRole.

      "When referencing a practitioner from clinical (or other) content where the organization and role are important to the context of the reference to the practitioner, then a reference to the PractitionerRole should be used."

    Description

      from the thread https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/179166-implementers/topic/PractitionerRole:

      "you can also have PractitionerRoles that specify organization + hat, but not Practitioner. E.g. Surgeon at XYZ hospital"

      I may have missed it, but the current set of text+clarifying tasks does not make this clear enough - can we plase be explicit about this
