Hi,

this is essentially just a decision of design. For a single longitudinal
record, there is no problem at all. We can solve this even with some
simple ruta rules, or with some cutom analysis engine. If we want to
process a set of record of the same patient jointly, then we cannot
apply a single pipeline. I propose to postpone the decison and implement
it only for single documents for now.

Best,

Peter
