OrganizationRole has text that appears to be copied from PractitionerRole and needs to be updated or clarified in context of the OrganizationRole resource
1) OrganizationRole *definition *is identical to PractitionerRole, so it should be updated for OrganizationRole
A specific set of Roles/Locations/specialties/services that a practitioner may perform at an organization for a period of time
2) *Background and Context *section is identical, too, and should be updated for OrganizationRole
Practitioner performs different roles within the same or even different organizations. Depending on jurisdiction and custom, it may be necessary to maintain a specific Practitioner Resource for each such role or have a single Practitioner with multiple roles. The role can be limited to a specific period, after which authorization for this role ends. Note that the represented organization need not necessarily be the (direct) employer of a Practitioner.
3) *Boundaries and Relationships *section is identical, as well, and should be updated for OrganizationRole
Qualifications (from the Practitioner resource) do not imply a Role, but might be considered when an Organization allocates practitioners to roles within their organization, and could provide useful information (such as expiry information) which could need to be tracked in some situations to ensure they continue to be eligible for a specific role.
4) Last couple sentences of *Scope and Usage *section is identical and should be updated for OrganizationRole
The role, specialty, Location telecom and HealthcareService properties can be repeated if required in other instances of the PractitionerRole. Some systems record a collection of service values for a single location, others record the single service and the list of locations it is available. Both are acceptable options for representing this data.
