      Comment:

      In the US, 100% of the Health IT technology which is certified, will likley be required to support both Race and Ethnicity. As such, these elements should be optionally included in the FHIR standard.

      On the Patient Resource we do not see anything for Race or Ethnicity. These are important demographic data elements and would like them added to the model.
