      The first bullet point under 5.4.5 Notes will be removed

      The absence of the Organization shouldn't be used to infer anything about if the practitioner is self employed.

      In several jurisdictions a self employed practitioner still has an organization representing just himself for legal/business operational reasons.

      Existing Wording
      Practitioner.organization is optional, so it can be used to represent self-employed professionals.

      Comments
      Clarify "it can be used to represent" It's unclear as to whether self-employed professionals should be represented by the ABSENCE of a value for Practitioner Organization, vs a specific code such as "SELF."
