## Union of http://hl7.org.au/fhir/ps/StructureDefinition/au-ps-encounter and http://hl7.org.au/fhir/ps/StructureDefinition/au-ps-encounter

This is the set of resources that conform to either of the profiles AU PS Encounter (http://hl7.org.au/fhir/ps/StructureDefinition/au-ps-encounter) and AU PS Encounter (http://hl7.org.au/fhir/ps/StructureDefinition/au-ps-encounter). E.g. what you have to deal with if you get resources conforming to one of them
