NTR: allied health profession/practitioner role

[LCCarmody]

As I mentioned, we have a need to have allied health profession (practitioner)role

This is less defined and we currently are working on this branch in MAxO (https://github.com/monarch-initiative/MAxO/issues/187).

Allied health professional defined by NCIt is ' Professional health-care providers who are not physicians, especially medical assistants, technicians, and therapists but not nurses.' Although I was thinking of a definition more like 'a professional who provides a range of diagnostic, technical, therapeutic, and support services in connection with health care. This is care provided by health care practitioners who are distinct providers from dentistry, nursing, medicine, and pharmacy health care professionals.'

I was thinking of terms like

• [ ] occupational therapist role
• [ ] speech therapist role
• [ ] speech language pathologist role
• [ ] dietician evaluation (registered dietician?) role
• [ ] audiologist evaluation role
• [ ] physical therapist role
• [ ] phlebotomist role
• [ ] rehabilitation specialist role
• [ ] respiratory therapist role
• [ ] social worker role

but this isn't entirely fleshed out yet.

Let me know if you are interested in discussing this for inclusion into OMRSE. Thanks.

Is there any way we can make it easier to help you add these?
