There should be optional data elements to capture the expected start and end dates for a posting/associate of a health worker at a facility.
This particular use case came up in Ghana for community health workers -- as they are will be temporary contract employees, it would be good to be able to plan for turn-over.
More generally, this helps to answer the question of when there is the potential for a particular facility to provide a service. It is analogous to the operating hours of a facility.
Straw Man Proposal:
- Add a new complex data type:
<xs:complexType name="operatingDate">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="beginEffectiveDate" type="xs:date"/>
<xs:element name="endEffectiveDate" type="xs:date" minOccurs="0"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
- Have the complex type operatingHours extend operatingDate
3)add an optional element operatingDate of type operatingDate under /providerDirectory/provider/facilities/facility
