      <p>OPERATION: Fetch Encounter Record</p>
      <div>
        <p>This operation is used to return all the information related to an encounter described
           in the resource on which this operation is invoked. The response is a bundle of type &quot;searchset
          &quot;. At a minimum, the encounter resource itself is returned, along with any other resources
           that the server has available for the given encounter for the user. The server also returns
           whatever resources are needed to support the records - e.g. linked practitioners, locations,
           organizations etc. The principle intended use for this operation is to provide a patient
           with access to their record, or to allow a client to retrieve everything for an encounter
           for efficient display).  The server SHOULD return all resources that it has that are in
           the encounter compartment for the identified encounter, and any resource referenced from
           those, including binaries and attachments. In the US Realm, at a mimimum, the resources
           returned SHALL include all the data covered by the meaningful use common data elements
           (see 
          <a href="daf/daf.html">DAF</a> for further guidance). Other applicable implementation guides may make additional rules
           about the information that is returned.   Note that for many resources, the exact nature
           of the link to encounter can be ambiguous (e.g. for a DiagnosticReport, is it the encounter
           when it was initiated, or when it was reported?)

        <p>The key differences between this operation and simply searching the encounter compartment
           are:  * unless the client requests otherwise, the server returns the entire result set
           in a single bundle (rather than using paging) * the server is responsible for determining
           what resources to return as included resources (rather than the client specifying which
           ones)</p>
