      .descriptionThe Encounter referenced in the US Core profiles.This profile sets minimum expectations for the Encounter resource to record, search, and fetch basic encounter information for an individual patient to promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource and constrains the way the elements are used when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases.
