A unit of work in the chart: who asked for it, who owns it now, what has been said about it, and which chart element it concerns. Inbox items, to-dos, follow-ups, a result that needs review -- deliberately one kind of work item.

EMR-born task created from a patient chart -- no identifier, no code, the patient on "for" and no focus (the task is about no one chart element), an opening note carrying its author and time, and a date-precision due date on restriction.period.end
