    Description

      As discussed during the January WGM 2023 (Mon Q2), it would we good if Patient.contact would have an element to capture the rank of a contact for scenarios like:

      • first call this person, second this person, etc.

      What still needs discussion is, if this rank information should be captured per contact or per contact.relationship/role.

      • in case of emergencies first call this person, second this person, etc.
