@clairblacketer Should this be a Vocab issue since it seeks the definition of "Case management visit"? Should the Vocab team define each of the Visit concepts?

[MelaniePhilofsky]

@clairblacketer There is another question about the definition of a Visit concept_id. I will work with the Vocab team on defining and publishing definitions for these.

Thanks @MelaniePhilofsky I think it would be good to have a page in the THEMIS repo dedicated to these definitions
