Determining User Position/Role

Peter O'TooleMar 4 2025

We have a few posts on forums about how to determine if a user is a physician. More generally though, wondering the best way to differentiate different types of users.

  1. Provider, such as an MD, who can sign out clinical documentation.
  2. Resident, who is an MD, but still only signs out provisionally.
  3. Other - support staff who might assist in completing documentation (scribes, clerks, etc.)

In a situation where you want to automatically provision users in your SMART app, what is the best approach? The FHIR API does not provide much information on the user.

Our customer thinks the “Position” in Cerner is the best way. But, we cannot find a way to access this programmatically. We are also open to other ideas.

original question about position via FHIR:

follow-up question about getting position from the proprietary (non-FHIR) API - asked today.

question about is-physician -- I've just asked if there is any way to clarify if the user is a resident:

Any help is appreciated!
