Existing Wording
For keeping information about persons for contact purposes for a patient, use a Patient's Contact element instead.
Proposed Wording
For keeping information about persons for contact purposes for a patient, use a Patient's Contact element. Some persons may serve as both a Contact and a Related Person (e.g., caregiver).
Comments
Some persons can be both a related person and a contact. Especially the patient's spouse could easily be both a contact and a person involved in the patient's care. They should be allowed to be represented in both resources. The proposed wording allows for that possibility.
