A formally or informally recognized grouping of people or organizations formed for the purpose of achieving some form of collective action. Includes companies, institutions, corporations, departments, community groups, healthcare practice groups, payer/insurer, etc.
This resource may be used in a shared registry of contact and other information for various organizations or it can be used merely as a support for other resources that need to reference organizations, perhaps as a document , message or as a contained resource. If using a registry approach, it's entirely possible for multiple registries to exist, each dealing with different types or levels of organization.
The Organization resource is used for collections of people that have come together to achieve an objective. The Group resource is used to identify a collection of people (or animals, devices, etc.) that are gathered for the purpose of analysis or acting upon, but are not expected to act themselves.
The
Organization
resource
often
exists
as
a
hierarchy
of
organization
resources,
using
the
part-of
property
to
provide
the
association
of
the
child
to
its
parent
organization.
This
organizational
hierarchy
helps
communicate
the
conceptual
structure,
whereas
the
Location
resource
provides
the
physical
representation
of
the
hierarchy.
The
linkage
between
Organization
and
Location
is
from
each
point
in
the
location
hierarchy
to
the
appropriate
level
in
the
Organization
hierarchy.
These
links
don't
all
have
to
be
to
the
top
level
Organization.
When
populating
the
organization
and
location
hierarchies
there
is
often
not
a
clear
distinction
between
these
2,
however
to
assist
in
making
the
decision,
Locations
are
always
used
for
recording
where
a
service
occurs,
and
hence
where
encounters
and
observations
are
associated.
The
Organization
property
on
these
resources
may
might
not
be
the
location
where
the
service
took
place.
