Concept Bindings:

• qualification.code is bound to the concept domain "QualificationCodes"
• The use codes for a language (written, spoken, preferred, excellent, poor, etc) are a space separated list and must come from the list of language use codes.

Notes:

• Note: compared with patients, we are interested in far less details about people
• Various jurisdictions define their own qualification codes, and some care about this more than others.
• The organization references are all optional, so can be replaced by simple text

Resource Status

Person records may only be in one of two statuses: active and retired. A normal record is active - it is in use. The status retired is used when a record is created in error. Once the error is discovered, it can either be retired or deleted.
