Hi, I have a modeling question -- If I had a set group of practitioners/related persons and I needed to create a task for the group, would you put those practitioners/related persons in a care team and create a task for that care team?
Our use case is: We have an operations team that assists cnas, rns, patients, etc. and we'd like tasks to populate for every person on that operations team.
r
So they have a particular role? Perhaps Task.owner -> PractitionerRole would be something to consider
And then they can all pull off the queue for their role
This repo may be interesting to you too https://github.com/medplum/medplum-task-demo

Ah, I was wondering if I could use a PractitionerRole for a group of Practitioners. Is that relationship not 1:1? I assumed If you assigned a Task.owner to a PractitionerRole it would relate to one Practitioner and not a group of Practitioner(s). Is that not true? I'll take a look at that repo -- for context I am modeling this in the API but the client side will still help, thank you!

The PractitionerRole is like "Operations Associate" and the assumption is that anyone with that Role could pick it up. Relationship is 1 PractitionerRole to many Pracititioners - here's a terrible but official diagram http://hl7.org/fhir/us/davinci-pdex-plan-net/STU1/#overview-of-payer-directory-resource-relationships

@reshma it looks like in your diagram the PractitionerRole to Practitioner is 1 to 1, are we misunderstanding that?
or are you saying that we wouldn't assign a practitioner on the role at all, but would assign an organziation to the role?
cc @rahul1 if you know anything about this, would be helpful as well! we're semi-blocked by a decision here since we're instantiating a lot of tasks and want to model them correctly before doing so

Hey @stefant1707 , weighing with my thoughts. I think the appropriate grouping resource here would be the 
HealthcareService
. You could then assign 
Task.owner
to the appropriate service. A 
CareTeam
is typically a team that works on a specific patient, not a standing team that is respondin gto requests
s
awesome, thanks for the context we were looking at healthcare service as an option as well!
t
Thank you @rahul1
We could then associate Practitioner records to the HealthcareService via the PractitionerRole, right? That seems to achieve the relationship we're looking for.
r
yep!
That allows you to have a 1 practitioner -> many services mapping
