PractitionerRole currently has the reference to HealthcareService as optional, meaning that servers may omit it.
Whilst this is a simplification for servers, it means that clients wishing to display a practice/clinic name must resort to using the location name instead. Whilst servers can put the practice/clinic name as the location name, this means that clients must behave differently depending on whether HealthcareService is present or not.
Agreed Change 1:
The SMTWG meeting of 19 March 2020 agreed to make the reference to HealthcareService mandatory to relieve clients from having to support two models.
