Clarification
Existing Wording: When populating the organization and location hierarchies there is often not a clear distinction between these 2, however to assist in making the decision, Locations are always used for recording where a service occurs, and hence where encounters and observations are associated. The Organization property on these resources may not be the location where the service took place.
Comment:
There is some ambiguity regarding when to use a Location vs. an Organization (encounter or observation could reasonably use either one). Recommend that there is more explicit language to determine when to use one vs. the other so that clients know what to expect.
