Compartment Encounter

FHIR Infrastructure Work Group

Maturity Level : N/A

Standards Status : Trial Use

Formal URI	http://hl7.org/fhir/compartment/Encounter
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. 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?)
Formal Definition	CompartmentDefinition resource: XML or JSON

A resource is in this compartment if the nominated search parameter (or chain) refers to the patient compartmentdefinition-encounter resource that defines the compartment.

The following All resources not explicitly listed above are never in this compartment: not defined as part of the compartment because they do not have a relevant element, or an appropriate specified search parameter. Some non-listed resources may still be relevant for certain compartment uses, such as access control - e.g. Binary.
