## Resource Profile: AU PS Encounter

This profile sets minimum expectations for an Encounter resource in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the AU Core Encounter profile, and applies the additional constraints for use in a patient summary context consistent with the profiling conventions of IPS.

See Comparison With Other National and International IGs for a comparison between AU Patient Summary (AU PS) profiles and profiles in other implementation guides.

### Profile Specific Implementation Guidance

- See the guidance on implementing the Encounter resource in AU Core.
- The Encounter resource can represent a clinical indication with `Encounter.reasonCode`, or a reference with `Encounter.reasonReference` to a Condition or other resource.
  - Although both are marked as Must Support, producers are not required to support both a code and a reference, but they SHALL support at least one of these elements
  - A consumer SHALL support both elements

Usages:

- Use this Profile: AU PS Bundle
- Refer to this Profile: AU PS MedicationRequest and AU PS Procedure

You can also check for usages in the FHIR IG Statistics
