In DSTU2 Appointments you need to specify at least one Participant.

The "type" attribute is bound to http://www.hl7.org/implement/standards/fhir/valueset-encounter-participant-type.html which seems to have codes relating to "people" type participants. The participations in the Appointment resource can however be "Devices" or "HealthcaeServices" - what participation types are available for these types of participants?
Jeffrey Chen (Jul 26 2016 at 23:57):
You don't have to give a type to the participant in that case. You may use participant.required and participant.status to add additional information to the device/healthcare service.
Brian Postlethwaite (Jul 27 2016 at 09:47):
That's correct.
Often you'll only apply the type to the practitioners, and in any case where you aren't going to allocate the specific practitioner ahead of time.
