A Person resource as defined by the Dutch Health and Care Information models or HCIM (Dutch: Zorginformatiebouwsteen or ZIB) ContactPersoon version 1.2 (Release 2015). The HCIM ContactPerson is meant to deal with both related persons and contacts. This profile targets instantiations of the HCIM ContactPerson who are related persons. An HCIM ContactPerson who is a contact for a patient, belongs in Patient.contact. If a person is both a related person and a contact person, then some data duplication is inevitable. This may or may not be resolved in a future version of the Patient/Person resources.
