Detailed Descriptions for the elements in the AdverseEvent resource.
| AdverseEvent | |

0..1 |
| Type | Identifier |
| Requirements | Allows identification of the adverse event as it is known by various participating systems and in a way that remains consistent across servers. |
| Summary | true |
| Comments | This is a business identifier, not a resource identifier (see discussion ). It is best practice for the identifier to only appear on a single resource instance, however business practices may occasionally dictate that multiple resource instances with the same identifier can exist - possibly even with different resource types. For example, multiple Patient and a Person resource instance might share the same social insurance number. |

| AdverseEvent.encounter | |
| Element Id | AdverseEvent.encounter |
| Definition | The Encounter during which AdverseEvent was created or to which the creation of this record is tightly associated. |
| Cardinality | 0..1 |
| Type | Reference ( Encounter ) |
| Summary | true |
| Comments | This will typically be the encounter the event occurred within, but some activities may be initiated prior to or after the official completion of an encounter but still be tied to the context of the encounter. For example, if a medication administration was considered an adverse event because it resulted in a rash, then the encounter when the medication administration was given is the context. If the patient reports the AdverseEvent during a second encounter, that second encounter is not the context. |
