Topic: Encounter AdmitDisposition

For our Encounters we are looking to best model "AdmitDisposition".
The concept is similar to Encounter.hospitalization.dischargeDisposition but for admittance. It relates to Encounter.hospitalization.admitSourcebut has less to do with specific referrals. It is for example about if someone comes from Dementia Level Care or Hospital Level Care, or from a Hospice. The Encounter model itself haven't named the .admitSource using the same terminology as the . discharge**Disposition**... so we are thinking of creating a AdmitDisposition extension.
Do others have experiences with this?

Encounter.admitSource ? This has a preferred binding so could be easily extended. If it's not that you may have to come up with a more elaborate definition of what it is you're looking for (to distinguish it from admitSource).

admitSource seems to be more of an administrative concept, while admitDisposition would be more of a clinical concept. I would hesitate mixing them together.

@Cooper Thompson can you summarize the R4 story here and a little on the new changes coming in R5?
