Thank you for your comment !

It has to do with the concept of "person" that I want to keep enhancing
in GNU Health. Being a patient is just one possible (and not
necessary) state of a person. So are the states of being alive or dead. 

For instances, when working on demographics, we need to collect
information from the population (some of them are in the just in the
census, some of them are in the census and are part of the health
system, and finally, only a subset of those are patients).

So that's why is important to have that attribute at the party level.
We need to work on the "people before patients" premise.
