      The Patient Compartment Identity text will be updated to:

       

      Identity There is an instance of the patient compartment for each patient resource, and the identity of the compartment is the same as the patient. When a patient is linked to another patient resource, the records associated with the linked patient resource will not be returned as part of the compartment search. Those records will be returned only with another compartment search using the "id" for the linked patient resource.
       
      In cases where two patients have been merged rather than linked, associated resources should be moved to the target patient as part of the merge process, so the patient compartment for the target patient would include all relevant data, and the patient compartment for the source patient would include only the linked Patient and possibly remnant resources like AuditEvent.

    Description

      Issue: Additional clarification is needed for the below statement on the Compartment Based Search pages- http://build.fhir.org/compartmentdefinition.html and http://build.fhir.org/compartmentdefinition-patient.html.

      • "When a patient is linked to another patient, all the records associated with the linked patient are in the compartment associated with the target of the link."*

      This seems to indicate that if I call GET [base]/Patient/1234/Condition, it will return all the Condition records associated with 1234 and also Conditions records referenced by the linked Patient resources. However, that doesn't seem to be the case based on this conversation in the implementers stream- https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/implementers/topic/Compartment.20based.20access

      Proposed change: "When a patient is linked to another patient resource, the records associated with the linked patient resource will not be returned as part of the compartment search. Those records will be returned only with another compartment search using the "id" for the linked patient resource."
