description: This profile sets minimum expectations for the PractitionerRole Resource to record, search, and fetch the practitioner role for a practitioner to promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation.  It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource when using this profile.  It provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases.  The requirements for the US Core Practitioner were drawn from the [Argonaut Provider Directory](http://www.fhir.org/guides/argonaut/pd//release1/index.html), [IHE Healthcare Provider Directory](http://ihe.net/uploadedFiles/Documents/ITI/IHE_ITI_Suppl_HPD.pdf) and the [ONC Provider Directory Workshop](https://confluence.oncprojectracking.org/display/PDW/Workshop+Documents).
