            Patient.active : Whether this patient record is in active use. 
Many systems use this property to mark as non-current patients, such as those that have
             not been seen for a period of time based on an organization's business rules.

It is often used to filter patient lists to exclude inactive patients

Deceased patients may also be marked as inactive for the same reasons, but may be active
             for some time after death.

          When a resource has no narrative, only systems that fully understand the data can display
           the resource to a human safely. Including a human readable representation in the resource
           makes for a much more robust eco-system and cheaper handling of resources by intermediary
           systems. Some ecosystems restrict distribution of resources to only those systems that
           do fully understand the resources, and as a consequence implementers may believe that
           the narrative is superfluous. However experience shows that such eco-systems often open
           up to new participants over time.
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
      
      
      
      
        
        
      
      
        
        
      
      
        
        
      
    
    
      
      
      The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this
       value never changes.
      The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the
       server using a create operation.

             of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains
             it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier
             elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe
             and managable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and
             use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there
             is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension.
             Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.
Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or
             DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).">modifierExtension</a>

      A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to
       represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the
       structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it &quot;clinically
       safe&quot; for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what
       content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.
      Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have
       a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional
       discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied).  This may be necessary
       for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a &quot;text blob&quot;
       or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added
       later.
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
        
        
        
      
      
        
      
      
        
        
        
        
        
        
      
      
      
      
        
        
      
    
    
      
      
      These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains
       them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent
       transaction scope.
      This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification
       is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained
       resources may have profiles and tags In their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security
       labels.

      If no language is specified, this *implies* that the default local language is spoken.
        If you need to convey proficiency for multiple modes, then you need multiple Patient.Communication
       associations.   For animals, language is not a relevant field, and should be absent from
       the instance. If the Patient does not speak the default local language, then the Interpreter
       Required Standard can be used to explicitly declare that an interpreter is required.
      If a patient does not speak the local language, interpreters may be required, so languages
       spoken and proficiency are important things to keep track of both for patient and other
       persons of interest.

Many systems use this property to mark as non-current patients, such as those that have
       not been seen for a period of time based on an organization's business rules.

It is often used to filter patient lists to exclude inactive patients

Deceased patients may also be marked as inactive for the same reasons, but may be active
       for some time after death.
      If a record is inactive, and linked to an active record, then future patient/record updates
       should occur on the other patient.

      If no language is specified, this *implies* that the default local language is spoken.
        If you need to convey proficiency for multiple modes, then you need multiple Patient.Communication
       associations.   For animals, language is not a relevant field, and should be absent from
       the instance. If the Patient does not speak the default local language, then the Interpreter
       Required Standard can be used to explicitly declare that an interpreter is required.
      If a patient does not speak the local language, interpreters may be required, so languages
       spoken and proficiency are important things to keep track of both for patient and other
       persons of interest.
      
      
      
        
      
      
        
        
      
      
        
        
      
    
    
      
      
      The ISO-639-1 alpha 2 code in lower case for the language, optionally followed by a hyphen
       and the ISO-3166-1 alpha 2 code for the region in upper case; e.g. &quot;en&quot; for
       English, or &quot;en-US&quot; for American English versus &quot;en-EN&quot; for England
       English.
      The structure aa-BB with this exact casing is one the most widely used notations for locale.
       However not all systems actually code this but instead have it as free text. Hence CodeableConcept
       instead of code as the data type.
      Most systems in multilingual countries will want to convey language. Not all systems actually
       need the regional dialect.
      
      
      
        
      
      
        
          
        
        
          
        
        
          
        
        
        
        
      
      
        
        
      
      
        
        
      
      
        
        
      
    
    
      
      
      Indicates whether or not the patient prefers this language (over other languages he masters
       up a certain level).
      
      People that master multiple languages up to certain level may prefer one or more, i.e.
       feel more confident in communicating in a particular language making other languages sort
       of a fall back method.
      
      
      
        
      
      
        
        
      
      
        
        
      
      
        
        
      
    
    
      
      
      
      This may be the primary care provider (in a GP context), or it may be a patient nominated
       care manager in a community/disability setting, or even organization that will provide
       people to perform the care provider roles.  It is not to be used to record Care Teams,
       these should be in a CareTeam resource that may be linked to the CarePlan or EpisodeOfCare
       resources.
Multiple GPs may be recorded against the patient for various reasons, such as a student
       that has his home GP listed along with the GP at university during the school semesters,
       or a &quot;fly-in/fly-out&quot; worker that has the onsite GP also included with his home
       GP to remain aware of medical issues.

Jurisdictions may decide that they can profile this down to 1 if desired, or 1 per type.
