Projects and Relevant Topics

Person-Centric Introduction: Ken Lord 

Presentation and discussion:

  • Ken presented.
  • Michelle Zancan, Rita Torkzadeh , and Kenneth Salyards pointed out that the term Patient is not appropriate in many social services use cases and in some cases even the patient wouldn't want to be referred to with that term.
  • John Moehrke pointed out that the Patient resource is explicitly scoped to cover social services use cases. For example, in financial service use cases the same resource is used to model a client.
  • Mohammad Jafari mentioned that the goal of this project isn't/shouldn't be to rename the resource and break the entire FHIR model. We might be able to rely on extensions to close the gaps.
  • John Moehrke pointed out the potential for using Alternate Names.
  • The group identified some of the potential co-sponsors for this project including PA, PE WG, and Payer Provider Information Exchange.
