Both have value and when we start supporting organizations
we shall start supporting the second option as well.

I suppose it can be of relevance when administrating care
such as scheduling appointments or organizing incoming
(legacy) results.

This is already possible: 

- create tags for each of the in-praxis providers
- modify the hook script to allow for selection of a tag
  when the hook "post_person_creation" is pulled

(or create one tag to mean "primary provider" and have the 
hook script ask for the patient specific provider name to be
put into the patient specific tag comment)

(or use the hook "post_patient_activation" to check and add
if missing)
