- Note
- Deliberately NOT `broaderTermId: bedroom`. People sleep in it, which is the whole of the resemblance. The ISA test asks whether every patient room is a bedroom, and it is not: it is a clinical space that happens to contain a bed, and its material specification is closer to `operating_room` than to `bedroom`.
