Is there a way of standard way of grouping comms/commsRequests? E.g. if I want to send a flu shot reminder as a "campaign" to 600 patients over 60 then is there an existing structure I should use? I.e. I want to send the exact same message to 600 patients (possibly with templating within e.g. "Dear {{firstName}} {{lastName}} " etc.) We have a system to do this, but I am trying to push a fhir first way for our other (service using) applications to create this sort of comms request. I can see how to send 1 message to 1 patient... but not 1 message to 600 (apart from sending the same one 600 times & then knowing which messages are part of a "campaign" becomes fun).

If you want to frame it as an 'order/authorization' for the reminder to be sent, that'd be CommunicationRequest.
Adam Flinton (Jul 15 2021 at 12:50):
Yes but is there a way/structure or grouping commsRequests? e.g. 600 as a "group" so we can track how many of the 600 actually do book a flu vac appointment & who hasn't so we can send a reminder to those who haven't?

I'd probably have a single CommunicationRequest with a recipient of a Group containing the 600. You could then adjust membership of the group to exclude those who actually got their shots before triggering again.
