      Represents a defined collection of entities that may be discussed or acted upon collectively
       but which are not expected to act collectively, and are not formally or legally recognized;
       i.e. a collection of entities that isn't an Organization.
      If both Group.characteristic and Group.member are present, then the members are the individuals
       who were found who met the characteristic.  It's possible that there might be other candidate
       members who meet the characteristic and aren't (yet) in the list.  All members SHALL have
       the listed characteristics.

          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 only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the

      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.
