description	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](https://hl7.org.au/fhir/core/2.0.0/StructureDefinition-au-core-encounter.html) profile, and applies the additional constraints for use in a patient summary context consistent with the profiling conventions of [IPS](https://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ips/2.0.1/).
