FHIR Group Represents a defined collection of entities that may be discussed or acted upon collectively but which are not expected to act collectively, and are not formally or legally recognized; i.e. a collection of entities that isn’t an Organization.

The Group resource is used in one of two ways:

To define a group of specific people, animals, devices, etc. that is being tracked, examined or otherwise referenced as part of healthcare-related activities To define a set of possible people, animals, devices, etc. that are of interest for some intended future healthcare-related activities
