A name for a person. A sequence of name parts, such as given name or family name, prefix, suffix, etc. Examples for person name values are "Jim Bob Walton, Jr.", "Adam Everyman", etc. A person name may be as simple as a character string or may consist of several person name parts, such as, "Jim", "Bob", "Walton", and "Jr.". PN differs from EN because the qualifier type cannot include LS (Legal Status).
**Australian adaptation of the [HL7 International CDA Person Name dataType]( https://hl7.org/cda/stds/core/2.0.1-sd/StructureDefinition-PN.html)**. This is a generated StructureDefinition that describes CDA - that is, CDA as it actually is for R2. The intent of this StructureDefinition is to enable CDA to be a FHIR resource. That enables the FHIR infrastructure - API, conformance, query - to be used directly against CDA
