We will rename the element from  PractitionerRole.name  to  PractitionerRole.display : We will also tweak the definition and comments slightly: Definition A  value  that describes the intersection of the practitioner, organization, and the role of the practitioner within the organization. This is not the human name of the practitioner, though the textual representation of that human name may be a part of this property. Comments The PractitionerRole  display value  may be considered a de-normalized value from Practitioner and/or Organization for the purposes of convenient display in both the PractitionerRole resources and reference to it. When a system is consuming a PractitionerRole resource and displaying a name to a user, they may choose to use PractitionerRole.name, or they could use one or both of the names from the referenced Practitioner and/or Organization resources along with the role or other relevant properties in PractitionerRole.
