I'd like to model the relationship between a practitioner and a patient. Specifically I need to record the date that the responsibility for care started / ended. Is there a better way of doing this than Patient.careProvider(Practitioner) - extending practitioner with a date? I looked at RelatedPerson, but that suggests it shouldn't be used for a formal responsibility in the care process. P.s. I'm working with DSTU 2.

This is why STU3 has been improved with the PractitionerRole

PractitionerRole doesn't cover the relationship with Patient. For that, look to CareTeam

Good to learn things... thanks

Many thanks for the responses. Unfortunately I'm constrained to DSTU 2 for the time being - I think I'll just profile the Practitioner, call it ResponsiblePractitioner and extend to include a start / end date of care (some something to that effect).

In STU2, you can use CarePlan for CareTeam
Rob Walker (Mar 28 2017 at 16:20):
Great, thanks.

Or EpisodeOfCare (which is the other resource that had that structure in it ni DSTU2, that was refactored in STU3 to use the new CareTeam resource)
