An Extension used to reference a specific athenahealth practice Organization.
athenahealth provides a multi-tenant SaaS platform on which our customers provide healthcare services to their patients. Tenants are defined as practices within athenahealth. In general, a practice can be a hospital, medical center, clinic, or any other healthcare-related entity. Typically, a practice represents the business entity that provides healthcare services and can be in a single location or spread across multiple locations.
Every practice is identified by a single numeric Practice ID within athenahealth. It is represented as a FHIR Organization having an Organization.id
defined by a-1.Practice-{PID}
where {PID}
is the Practice ID. This resource-level extension is used to specify the appropriate practice (tenant) for all athenahealth FHIR resources as a literal reference to a FHIR Organization.
