    Description

      Add Observation.focus to accommodate, e.g., a mother and father's work information in the record of a child. A child or other household member's health condition can be traced to inadvertent exposure to substances accidentally brought home on work clothing/shoes. This is also relevant for fetal exposures that have affected the child, e.g., loud noise from the work environment can affect the child's hearing.
