Confirm if we should be tracking cases or patients #94

We have be assuming that there is a patient that all the resources tie back to, with an identifier of a national case id.

As an alternative approach, consider whether we are actually tracking cases (which would map to an EpisodeOfCare). This may be more correct modelling, but may not be as useful practically. Align with the generic CR IG approach.
