Patient Goals

Patient goals are often found in advance healthcare decision documents.  This should be found within the Advance Directives data class and not broken out under the GOALS class.  It orphans the data element from context and other patient-authored expressions of a person's goals of care, and priorities/preferences for treatment interventions.
