RelatedPerson

Overview

The RelatedPerson resource provides information about a person who is involved in the care of a patient but has no formal responsibility. RelatedPersons typically have a personal relationship with the patient such as a spouse, relative, friend, guardian, or attorney. RelatedPersons are commonly a source of information about a patient.

The distinction between Practitioner and RelatedPerson is a practitioner cares for multiple patients on behalf of a healthcare facility where a RelatedPerson performs care tasks for a specific patient and is not associated with any healthcare facility.
