We use the fact relationship table:
5.13 FACT_RELATIONSHIP
The fact relationship table contains records to detail the relationships
between facts within one domain or across two domains, and the nature of
the relationship. Examples of types of fact relationships include: person
relationships (mother-child linkage), care site relationships (representing
the hierarchical organization structure of facilities within health
systems), drug exposures provided due to associated indicated condition,
devices used during the course of an associated procedure, and measurements
derived from an associated specimen. All relationships are directional, and
each relationship is represented twice symmetrically within the fact
relationship table. For example, two persons (PERSON_ID = 1 is the mother
of PERSON_ID = 2) have two fact relationships: 1- ‘PERSON_ID 1’ ‘parent of’
‘PERSON_ID 2’, and 2-‘PERSON_ID 2’ ‘child of’ ‘PERSON_ID 1’.
