Draft as of 2026-04-29 Computable Name: NoKommuneEpisodeOfCare

Kommunal forløpsprofil for å samle oppfølging over tid når kommunen har et ansvar, en tjenestekontekst eller et koordinert oppfølgingsløp. Profilen gir et felles minimum for pasient, status, starttidspunkt og ansvarlig organisasjon, men styrer ikke kommunens interne saksbehandling eller tjenestetildeling. Der no-basis-profiler finnes (f.eks. no-basis-Patient, no-basis-Organization) BØR disse brukes for de refererte ressursene.
