Topic: Discharge Planning

We have a use case to implement Discharge Planning for Case Managers, these are care providers who start patient discharge planning from the moment the patient is admitted. This process includes identifying anticipated/planned discharge dates, locations to discharge to, barriers to discharge, Coverage (insurance), social status (homelessness / poverty), transportation etc. As you can see this can involve multiple parties and is a constantly evolving case.
We have looked at Encounter but that alone does not seem enough to handle discharge planning workflow and nuances.
Any idea on what is the best Resource or resources that can be leveraged to implement this use case?

The more I think about it I am tempted to implement a new resource albeit at a risk of loosing interoparability.

CarePlan ? You're effectively planning for the situation after the discharge. 'Barriers to discharge' would then be a Condition, as would 'social status' and 'transportation'. Multiple parties -> CareTeam. Coverage is related to Patient, so no issues there. Planned discharge date should AFAIK already be supported by Encounter.

Thanks @René Spronk your insight is much appreciated.
