Gérard has some points. A patient, in the Netherlands, has under conditions
the right to require the physical removal of all data.
In that case no "deleted" marker is necessary.

Then there is the case of inactive patients. In case of a GP the law
requires he must.be able to produce the patients data until ten years after
last visit. Often patients just disappear without formally ending the
relationship with the GP or they never had a formal relationship. Tourists
for example. A GP is not interested in seeing persons in a listing which
are not his active patients.

I once, some years ago, helped facilitating archiving those patients data,
so they could be they physically removed from the GP information system.
Also here was no "deleted" marker necessary.

The only situation I can think of that requires a "deleted" marker is when
a information system is used for historical data research together with
active clinical use..

Maybe a standard should not facilitate such combination of use cases in a
single data storage information system.
When historical research is needed one should query the archive system.
