Example of a Family (id = "Family")

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!--   
One common use of Group is to track the members of a family. Families 
can act collectively e.g. jointly monitor their health. Of course,
the actions are likely actually performed by a single individual, but the tracking
system only considers the family's joint accountability

Note that it's not usual to refer to the members of a family that are of interest
to am e.g. public health system as 'Patients', but the resource type *Patient*
 is the appropriate 
resource to use in this case. This should not be understood as taking some sort
 of position about
the use of the word 'Patient', but a reflection on the limitations of a Typing
 system as 
compared to real world language usage
