Status: Not an approved resource: examplar. Possible owners: Public Health & Emergency Response and Patient Administration Working Group
Represents a defined collection of entities that may be discussed or acted upon collectively but which are not expected to act collectively and are not formally or legally recognized. I.e. A collection of entities that isn't an Organization.
The resource name as it appears in a RESTful URL is /group/
This resource is used in one of two ways:
Examples of the former could include group therapy or treatment sessions, exposed entities tracked as part of public health, etc. The latter might be used to define expected subjects for a clinical study.
Both use cases are handled by a single resource because the data elements captured tend to be similar.
