Description
For the ResearchStudy Resource the site element may reference a Location or Organization Resource. The research site may be reported as a physical location or an administrative unit. Discussions in https://jira.hl7.org/browse/FHIR-32317 regarding the need to convey the recruitment status of a research site (whether it is represented with Location or Organization) lead to a proposed extension for both Location and Organization Resources for recruitmentStatus element with cardinality 0..1, datatype CodeableConcept, description "The status for accepting enrolment in a research study site", and value set SiteRecruitmentState with Extensible binding.
Also create the SiteRecruitmentStatus value set (Extensible) with 9 values: active-not-recruiting, available, completed, enrolling-by-invitation, not-yet-recruiting, recruiting, suspended, terminated, withdrawn. This set of 9 values is BASED ON https://clinicaltrials.gov/api/query/field_values?expr=&field=LocationStatus&fmt=xml which shows the 9 values used in ClinicalTrials.gov data.
