treatment-episode Treatment episode The start, end, and continuity of the treatment episode a service belongs to, used to place the service inside an episode-relative counting window.
provider-specialty-group Provider specialty group The grouping identity of the rendering provider: the specialty group or the care sector the provider belongs to. It is used to group providers for counting and to condition rules on that grouping, including rules that apply differently in an organisation spanning more than one care sector. The applicable values arrive as parameters and are never enumerated by this concept. It is grouping identity and does not assert that the provider is eligible to render or bill the service.
