Resource Profile: Huli Practitioner

Official URL: https://fhir.huli.ai/r5/StructureDefinition/huli-practitioner Version: 0.1.0
Active as of 2026-09-11 Computable Name: HuliPractitioner

Practitioner profile (FHIR R5) for clinicians registered in Huli. Read-only on the Public API; provisioning happens through the operator-facing Huli platform rather than through partner-facing FHIR writes.

The Public API emits the practitioner's display name (given + primary surname, plus an optional second surname carried on the second-lastname extension matching HuliPatient) and the active flag. The profile permits additional elements (identifier, telecom, gender, qualification) for partner systems that import data from sources beyond the Public API.
