Elements

Name	Type	Description
identifier	Identifier[]	External Ids for this team Details Business identifiers assigned to this care team by the performer or other systems which remain constant as the resource is updated and propagates from server to server. This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion). It is best practice for the identifier to only appear on a single resource instance, however business practices may occasionally dictate that multiple resource instances with the same identifier can exist - possibly even with different resource types. For example, multiple Patient and a Person resource instance might share the same social insurance number.
