Description
We're now updating a number of resources to allow Group to be a 'performer' or 'author' of the resource rather than only a 'subject'. This could create some confusion about when it's appropriate to use Group vs. Organization. (The delineation used to be that Groups couldn't take responsibility for action.)
Suggestion is that Groups can only take collective responsibility when they are a group of Patients/RelatedPersons. Other collections of individuals (Practitioners, Devices, Organizations) that take collective action and responsibility are handled using Organization - even if the collection is not a distinct legal entity.
Open question: What if there's a desire to enumerate the individual members who are undertaking the collective action?
Suggest we talk about this at the Sept. WGM.
