Successful creation

- ProviderSchedulingGroupResponse — Represents a group of providers configured for shared scheduling behavior, such as round-robin or waterfall assignment of appointments. Each group has a type (structured or parallel) and a list of member providers, each assigned a tier that determines priority within the group.
