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 Base Encounter profile, and applies the constraints of AU Core Encounter and IPS.

Usage:

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