Resource Profile: Healthy Route Patient

Official URL: https://fhir.savannahghi.org/ig/healthy-route/StructureDefinition/hr-patient Version: 0.1.0
Draft as of 2026-10-11 Computable Name: HRPatient

A study participant as held within a site tenant.

Supports operation of the study at a site: participant lookup at registration, prevention of duplicate enrolment, and linkage of clinical observations to the correct individual. This is not the form in which participant data leaves the tenant; see HRExportPatient.
