Collection and Usage Attributes
There are two categories of patient, admitted and non-admitted patients. Boarders are not patients. All treatment and/or care for a patient is documented in a medical record. While the concept of a person for whom a service provider accepts responsibility for treatment or care is also applicable to non-institutional health care and to welfare services, different terminology is often used in these other care settings e.g. client, resident.
