        descriptionThis profile sets minimum expectations for an Encounter resource to record, search, and fetch basic encounter information for a patient. It is based on the [AU Base Encounter](https://hl7.org.au/fhir/6.0.0/StructureDefinition-au-encounter.html) profile and identifies the *additional* mandatory core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that **SHALL** be present in the Encounter when conforming to this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases in an Australian context.This profile sets minimum expectations for an Encounter resource to record, search, and fetch basic encounter information for a patient.
