+Healthcare Practitioners are the doctors, nurses, ward boys, lab technicians, etc. who are serving the hospital unit in one way or another. ERPNext Healthcare allows you to create multiple practitioners and link to a User with appropriate Roles. You can also link a Healthcare Practitioner to an [Employee](/docs/v13/user/manual/en/human-resources/employee) to track Payroll, Attendance or other Human Resource Management activities.

+## 2. Features

+### 2.1 Track Payroll, Attendance, Roles and Permissions
+
+In order to track all Human Resource Management activities for the Practitioner, you need to create and select the [Employee](/docs/v13/user/manual/en/human-resources/employee) in the "Employee" field in practitioner. This will help run [Payroll](/docs/v13/user/manual/en/human-resources/payroll-intro) and also track availability and attendance for booking appointments by setting appropriate [Holiday List](/docs/v13/user/manual/en/human-resources/holiday-list) and [Practitioner Schedule](/docs/v13/user/manual/en/healthcare/practitioner_schedule). You can then create an ERPNext User linked to the Employee document. This will help track permissions for the Practitioner.
