      We will rename the Encounter.hospitalization property to be Encounter.admission.

       

      Note: several other trackers have made changes (e.g., FHIR-14157) to the existing properties in Encounter.hospitalization, so after all changes are applied, some of the admission/hospitalization related properties may be in other locations.

    Description

      As the definition says, this applies to much more than just hospitalizations.  It's really about whether the patient is formally admitted, whether it's to a hospital, long term care center or some other service.  Almost all of the child attributes are focused on 'admission' too.  Make the name reflect what it's about and avoid confusion.
