Description | The set of resources associated with a particular encounter |
Identity | There is an instance of the encounter compartment for each encounter resource, and the identity of the compartment is the same as the encounter |
Membership | The encounter compartment includes any resources where the resource has an explicitly nominated encounter, and some other resources that themselves link to resources in the encounter compartment.
