Topic: Patient Draft Extension
Brian Postlethwaite (Sep 06 2016 at 23:42):
There is this draft standard extension (http://hl7.org/fhir/2016Sep/extension-birthplace.html) on Patient that is an address datatype, and I think in most cases this really should be a coding.
Does anyone actually store this as an address?
All the cases I've seen so far are just a coding for the country of birth.

here in Australia it's customary to have locality + postcode for people born in Australia

In Canada, we'd typically use a string but in some cases, we might capture municipality and state (and country) as distinct elements
