      Additional comments will be added to the extended description for the property:

      "Many systems use this property to mark as non-current patients, such as those that have not been seen for a period of time based on an organization's business rules.

      It is often used to filter patient lists to exclude inactive patients

      Deceased patients may also be marked as inactive for the same reasons, but may be active for some time after death."

      The definition of Patient.active is "Whether this patient's record is in active use". This definition seems to imply that the Patient resource represents the patient record rather than a reference to the patient entity or role. Would this attribute not below on the patient record (e.g. Composition) rather than on the patient resource? FHIR needs to provide explicit guidance on how the patient resource is used and how a patient record is formed using FHIR.
