Hi. Hoping I can get some guidance re: US Core care team. I am looking at the spec, here (http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition-us-core-careteam.html#mandatory-search-parameters), which states:

"SHALL support searching using the combination of the patient and status search parameters"

But property 'status' has cardinality 0..1 (it is flagged as Must Support, but I take this to mean that the property does not need to be populated if the data is not available).

So the question is, how is this intended to work (i.e., a search must be supported for data that does not need to be present)? Would allowing the search (i.e., do not return an error) but returning no results suffice?

right, if the user says status=active and there's a resource that doesn't have a status, then it doesn't match
