Tamara, have you picked out a term for vital status from the EMR for #204?

I hear that the breast cancer survey work might want to use not just tumor 
registry data but also vital status from the EMR.

So I went to check on the status of this data element in GPC, and I suppose it 
falls into the demographics issue 
(#67<https://informatics.gpcnetwork.org/trac/Project/ticket/67>) though I'm not 
sure whether that's been explicit yet; the focus has been:


  *   Demographics
     *   Age
     *   Gender
     *   Race
     *   Ethnicity

Then I looked to see where it is in the PCORNet CDM, and I found... it's not. 
There's no vital status nor date of death. The closest I found is "Discharged 
alive" vs "Expired" in ENCOUNTER.DISCHARGE_STATUS.
