Topic: Patient's place of work

Hello. In which resource is it better to store the patient's place of work?

Patient.address where address.use = 'work'

Thanks for the reply @Yunwei Wang . The address of the organization where the patient works will be stored here. And to store the organization itself in the Organization resource? How then to connect the patient and the organization in which he works?

You can use Patient.contact.organization. You can take a look http://build.fhir.org/organization.html#bnr to decide if you want to saved the address using Organization.

This has been covered is the occupational data for health, which I believe went with observations. But would have to go look.
It's not in patient, as there's possibly many of them of different types and with different ranges.
As Yunwei points out you can have the work address in the patient but that's more around preferences for delivery/attendance/contacting the patient than recording places of work.

Thanks. And the position of the patient in the organization where is it better to store?
