Needed for Issue #89.

Proposed definition: "A healthcare provider organization role that is realized by providing assistive care."

"Skilled nursing care refers to a patient’s need for care or treatment that can only be performed by licensed nurses. This type of care is usually offered in hospitals, assisted living communities, Life Plan Communities, nursing homes and other certified locations. Skilled nursing is mostly regulated by the U.S. Department of Health and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). To be certified by CMS, skilled nursing communities must meet strict criteria and are subject to periodic inspections to ensure quality standards are being met."

So it's more than "assistive" care. It's actually services provided by nursing staff each one of whom holds licensure to practice nursing from the state whose jurisdiction includes the location of the facility that is the location of the care.
