Resource Profile: eICR Encounter

Official URL: http://hl7.org/fhir/us/ecr/StructureDefinition/eicr-encounter Version: 2.1.2
Active as of 2024-10-30 Computable Name: EICREncounter

This Encounter profile represents the encounter related to the event. It is based on the US Public Health Encounter profile.

This profile is based on and further constrains the US Public Health Encounter profile.

A trigger on an encounter diagnosis is indicated by the eICR Trigger Code Flag Extension in the diagnosis.

Where a trigger occurs outside of an encounter set Encounter.class to "PHC2237”, system=”2.16.840.1.114222.4.5.274” (External Encounter) and omit period, participant, location, and serviceProvider. In this case, the responsible provider and facility information is contained in the eICR Composition.author.
