Must support

The meaning of the presence or absence of the must support flag is described in Must support, except for the following elements:

• For the qualification.ahpraRegistration-details element. When a Practitioner is provided to a publishing or subscribing system the ahpraRegistration-details.ahpraProfession element is populated from the Ahpra Register of Practitioners.
• For the pca-bank-account extension: any values provided by publishing systems when adding or updating a PCA Practitioner will be ignored by the PCA service. Bank account details must be managed by a practitioner via the PCA Portal. The PCA service will populate the extension when providing the PCA Practitioner resource to subscribing systems.
• For the pca-practitioner-personal-contact-details extension: any values provided by publishing systems when adding or updating a PCA Practitioner will be ignored by the PCA service. Personal contact details must be managed by a healthcare provider organisation via the PCA Portal. The PCA service will populate the perosnal contact details when providing the PCA Practitioner resource to subscribing systems.
• For the pca-credential-documents extension: any values provided by publishing systems when adding or updating a PCA Practitioner will be ignored by the PCA service. Credential documents details must be managed by a healthcare provider organisation via the PCA Portal. The PCA service will populate the credential documents details when providing the PCA Practitioner resource to subscribing systems.
