Extension: athenahealth Provider Group

An Extension used to reference a specific athenahealth provider group 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.

A provider group is an organizational entity representing a set of providers within a practice. It allows a practice to group sets of providers, often in the same specialty and/or location, who share all financial information. Within an athenaEnterprise organization, financial and appointment data as well as patient demographic information are segmented using provider groups.

Every provider group is identified by a single numeric Provider Group ID and is associated to a specific practice in athenahealth. It is represented as a FHIR Organization having an Organization.id defined by a-{PID}.PG-{ID} where {PID} is the Practice ID and {ID} is the Provider Group ID. This resource-level extension is used to specify the appropriate provider group for appropriate athenahealth FHIR resources as a literal reference to a FHIR Organization.
