Description
This tracker suggests adding Appointment as an allowed resource in Communication.reasonReference.
PA had some discussion about how to handle different types of patient instructions for appointments.

Currently, Appointment.patientInstructions for basic instructions, which we intend to keep. However often there are letters and visit guides that are sent to patients in preparation for an appointment. Communication appears to be the best resource to represent those types of communication, however it does not include Appointment as an allowed resource in Communication.reasonReference.
