  "description": "This operation is a adaptation of the FHIR R4 Patient match operation, for use with the Practitioner and PractitionerRole resources.  The operation takes a Parameters instance containing a single candidate Practitioner (and optionally PractitionerRole) resource populated with the characteristics of the practitioner being searched for. The data provided is interpreted as an MPI input and  passed to an MPI algorithm of some kind that uses them to determine the most appropriate matches in the practitioner set.  These matches may not result in an exact match of all specified criteria.  Allowances are made for variations in spelling as well as potential data entry errors.  The complete set of specified criteria are evaluated as a whole to deterimine the likelihood of each candidate practitioner being a match.   The operation can only be invoked by POST with the Parameters resource (with inline Practitioner resource and optionally PractitionerRole resource instance) sent as the HTTP body.",

If there are no practitioner matches, the MPI SHALL return an empty search set with no error, but may include an operation outcome with further advice regarding practitioner selection. All practitioner records SHALL have a search score from 0 to 1, where 1 is the most certain match that indicates the MPI's position on the match quality.",
