Topic: Patient Center for PACE
Al Buchala (Feb 14 2020 at 15:16):
In PACE, a patient is assigned to a Center, which is a physical location where the patient receives care and services. I need to determine how to communicate the center for which the patient is assigned to. As I review the Patient resource, it looks like the Organization reference of the Contact would be an appropriate place for this.
Is there a better place to communicate this information?

Patient.generalPractitioner would be your other option
Al Buchala (Feb 14 2020 at 17:42):
Thank you Lloyd. That could also work.

Another resource might be EpisodeOfCare.
Al Buchala (Feb 14 2020 at 20:49):
I had not looked into that one. At a first glance, it looks like it could be a candidate. The main difference is that it's for a certain time period, if I read the specs correctly. Thank you @Brian Postlethwaite
Brian Postlethwaite (Feb 14 2020 at 21:36):
Yup, it could be open ended too.

And covers where you have multiple orgs responsible for the patient for different things.
