Active as of 2023-10-04 Computable Name: USPublicHealthEncounter

This Encounter profile represents the encounter related to a public health event

It is based on the US Core Encounter profile and further constrains it as follows:

  • sets the subject to US Public Health Patient
  • adds a ResponsibleProvider participant slice that sets:
    • type to ATND
    • individual to US Public Health PractitionerRole
  • sets diagnosis to must support
  • sets the location to US Public Health Location
  • sets the serviceProvider to US Public Health Organization
