      The following changes will be made to the Encounter resource:

      Encounter.status code 1..1 required (planned, in-progress, on-hold, completed, cancelled, entered-in-error, unknown) "The current state of the Encounter"

      Encounter.subjectStatus CodeableConcept 0..1 extensible (arrived, triaged, on-leave, departed)
      "The status of the subject in regards to the Encounter"
      (The definition of arrived in this valueset will include details that this applies for Emergency)

      The status management section will be updated to include the new subjectStatus, specifically the 2nd paragraph which starts to talk about this concept.

      The 3rd paragraph describing leave will be updated to consider both status properties, and how local systems may have multiple types of leave or hold reasons.

      Another paragraph will be added to this section to describe how waiting list status(es) coud be added to the subjectStatus for local usage.

      Note: There is no change to the statusHistory elements at this stage, however this will be revisited as a part of tracker #14157

    Description

      Please consider the introduction of the status "waiting" to Encounter.status (http://build.fhir.org/valueset-encounter-status.html) to enable tracking of the total time a patient spent waiting during an (outpatient) encounter

      e.g. arrived -> waiting -> triaged -> waiting -> in-progress (in treatment) -> waiting (for X-rays) -> in-progress (getting Xray) -> waiting (for labwork) -> in progress (in treatment) -> finished
