STU3: Patient.animal (new:BackboneElement)

Element Patient.animal has a context of Patient based on following the parent source element upwards and mapping to Patient. Element Patient.animal has no mapping targets in FHIR R4. Typically, this is because the element has been added (is a new element). The animal element is labeled "Is Modifier" since patients may be non-human. Systems SHALL either handle patient details appropriately (e.g. inform users patient is not human) or reject declared animal records. The absense of the animal element does not imply that the patient is a human. If a system requires such a positive assertion that the patient is human, an extension will be required. (Do not use a species of homo-sapiens in animal species, as this would incorrectly infer that the patient is an animal).

STU3: Patient.animal.species (new:CodeableConcept)

Element Patient.animal.species is part of an existing definition because parent element Patient.animal requires a cross-version extension. Element Patient.animal.species has a context of Patient based on following the parent source element upwards and mapping to Patient. Element Patient.animal.species has no mapping targets in FHIR R4. Typically, this is because the element has been added (is a new element). If the patient is non-human, at least a species SHALL be specified. Species SHALL be a widely recognised taxonomic classification. It may or may not be Linnaean taxonomy and may or may not be at the level of species. If the level is finer than species--such as a breed code--the code system used SHALL allow inference of the species. (The common example is that the word "Hereford" does not allow inference of the species Bos taurus, because there is a Hereford pig breed, but the SNOMED CT code for "Hereford Cattle Breed" does.).
