RelatedPersons typically have a personal relationship or non-healthcare-specific professional relationship to the patient. A RelatedPerson resource is primarily used for attribution of information, since RelatedPersons are often a source of information about the patient. For keeping information about people for contact purposes for a patient, use a Patient's Contact element. Some individuals may serve as both a Patient's Contact and a Related Person.
Example RelatedPersons are:
- A patient's wife or husband
- A patient's relatives or friends
- A neighbor bringing a patient to the hospital
- The owner or trainer of a horse
- A patient's attorney or guardian
- A Guide Dog
