      After some discussion this was not considered as a part of the 80% to be included as a core property.

      The jurisdictions and vendors present did not find that the extension would be of use in any of their implementations and thus believe may be appropriate as an Australian standard extension.

      When proposing this extension to HL7 Australia or your jurisdiction, it would be beneficial to provide additional information/guidance for its use.

      The Patient resource does not include "year of arrival" as a core element or extension

      This data element, paired with country of origin and ethnicity are powerful determinants of whether patient arrives into a country as migrant or refugee

      This information is extremely important in providing patient-centred and culturally sensitive/appropriate healthcare services

      Some region of Australia (and many other countries) has high mix of migrant and refugee population. This data element must be included

      Summary:

      The Patient resource does not include "year of arrival" as a core element or extension
