FHIR Resource Development Project Insight ID

Scope of coverage
Demographics and other administrative information about a person or animal receiving care or other health-related services.
The resource name as it appears in a RESTful URL is /patient/
This Resource covers data about persons and animals involved in a wide range of health-related activities, including:
- Curative activities
- Psychiatric care
- Social services
- Pregnancy care
- Nursing and assisted living
- Dietary services
- Tracking of personal health and exercise data
The data in a Patient Resource is generally kept in the interest of an organization, which also assigns a patient number and is responsible for the upkeep of the patient's record. A person or animal receiving care at multiple organisations will therefore have its information present in multiple Patient Resources. The data in the Resource covers the "who" information about the patient: Its attributes are focused on the demographic information necessary to support the administrative, financial and logistic procedures and does not contain medical or care-related information.
