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 Core Encounter profile, and applies the additional constraints for use in a patient summary context consistent with the profiling conventions of IPS.
See Comparison With Other National and International IGs for a comparison between AU Patient Summary (AU PS) profiles and profiles in other implementation guides.
