Topic: Modeling patient age group
Shobana (Jun 27 2019 at 00:39):
I have a list of patients where I only know their age groups - 0-17, 18-65, 65+, but not their date of birth.
How is this best modeled in FHIR? Should it be an extension on the Patient resource or an Observation or something else?
Grahame Grieve (Jun 27 2019 at 11:46):
extension on Patient, if you're still listing them as patients.
Shobana (Jun 27 2019 at 16:03):
I am still listing them as Patients, so I will use the extension. Thank you!

Would hope the extension also includes the as at date too to assist in managing the data over time.
