Topic: Patient link description in STU3
Dave Barnet (Mar 23 2017 at 10:53):
I'm assuming that the Description text for Patient link shouldn't read "Link to another patient resource that concerns the same actual person", but something like "Link to another patient resource that concerns either same actual person, or a link to a related patient", as the other link has now been expanded to include RelatedPerson. Plus the mother / baby example further down the page exemplifies the use of link to link a mother to her baby.

@Dave Barnet Feel free to submit a change request to clarify the description to encompass the additional resources. However, the intent is that it's dealing with the same Person. The mother/baby example doesn't involve the use of Link

There is indeed a link used in the Mother Patient example, but that is only to connect the Mother Patient resource to the Mother RelatedPerson resource (not to the baby)
