Hi techies! A possibly stupid question:
Can a single CONTRIBUTION ever affect two separate EHRs? I understand that a CONTRIBUTION normally only affects a set of VERSIONED_OBJECTs within a single EHR, but are there any exceptions? Technically the class CONTRIBUTION can point to any OBJECT_REF, but what should be allowed for real? A possible use case could be when moving some compositions between records (e.g. due to entry mistakes or temporary records for unidentified patients). Then one could either create a single CONTRIBUTION describing the move or two CONTRIBUTIONs: one in the source record indicating deletion and one in the source record indicating addition. I guess the last one (creatinig two CONTRIBUTIONs) is the preferred one, but I just want to be sure if the first case is ever allowed.
