A '''patient''' in Care is a person who receives care through your facility or program. It is the longitudinal anchor for clinical documentation — every encounter, observation, order, and care plan links back to a patient record.

== What it represents ==

In Care's FHIR-aligned model, a patient maps to the '''Patient''' resource. It holds:

* '''Identity''' — name, date of birth, sex, photo, and government or facility identifiers
* '''Contact''' — phone, address, and emergency contacts
* '''Administrative context''' — registration status, facility association, and tags used by your deployment
* '''Clinical linkage''' — references to encounters, conditions, allergies, and other resources in the record

A patient is not the same as a single visit. One patient can have many encounters over time; the patient record is the container that makes that history coherent.

== Identifiers ==

Patients are located using one or more identifiers, depending on how your deployment is configured:

{| class="wikitable"
! Identifier type !! Typical use
|-
| Facility MRN || Primary key inside a hospital or clinic
|-
| National health ID || ABDM, ABHA, or other national rails
|-
| Program ID || Public health or campaign-specific registries
|}

Identifiers must be unique within the scope your administrator defines. Duplicate detection during registration uses these fields.

== Lifecycle ==

<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
Register → Active → (optional) Inactive / Deceased
</syntaxhighlight>

* '''Register''' — a patient record is created with minimum demographics
* '''Active''' — the record is used for encounters and orders
* '''Inactive''' — retained for history but hidden from routine search (configurable)
* '''Deceased''' — administrative closure; clinical history remains auditable

== Permissions ==

Who can view or edit patient demographics is controlled by role-based access. Clinical staff typically can read full records; registration staff can create and update demographics; some fields may be restricted by facility or ward.
