OBSENCobservation encounterAn encounter where the patient usually will start in different encounter, such as one in the emergency department (EMER) but then transition to this type of encounter because they require a significant period of treatment and monitoring to determine whether or not their condition warrants an inpatient admission or discharge.

When the patient comes back for subsequent service, the pre-admission encounter is selected and is encapsulated into the service registration, and a new account number is generated. Usage Note: This is intended to be used in advance of encounter types such as ambulatory, inpatient encounter, virtual, etc.
