Topic: Patient Dismissal
Michelle (Moseman) Miller (Sep 15 2016 at 19:18):
Looking for suggestions on how to handle patient dismissals (e.g. when a patient is "fired" from a practice) using FHIR.

Does it need to be more complicated than marking the Patient as "inactive"?
Michelle (Moseman) Miller (Sep 15 2016 at 19:48):
Patient.active can be false for other reasons, so I don't think we want to mix dismissals into it. Dismissals could include a dismissed date, reinstate date, reason, notifications leading up to dismissal etc. I was just curious if there was an existing resource or extension available.

Well, you could use Task to collect all the workflow leading up to dismissal.

I'm not familiar with the concept - either in real life, or in any existing HL7 specs
