Expand description
This operation is used to return all the information related to an encounter described in the
resource on which this operation is invoked. The response is a bundle of type “searchset”. At a
minimum, the encounter resource itself is returned, along with any other resources that the server
has available for the given encounter for the user. The server also returns whatever resources are
needed to support the records - e.g. linked practitioners, locations, organizations etc. The
principle intended use for this operation is to provide a patient with access to their record, or to
allow a client to retrieve everything for an encounter for efficient display). The server SHOULD
return all resources it has that: * are included in the encounter compartment for the identified
encounter (have a reference to the encounter) * are referenced by the standard extenstion for
associating an encounter (where no reference element exists)
<http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/encounter-associatedEncounter> * the server believes are
relevant to the context of the encounter for any other reason (internally defined/decided) * any
resource referenced by the above, including binaries and attachments (to make a more complete
package) In the US Realm, at a mimimum, the resources returned SHALL include all the data covered by
the meaningful use common data elements (see DAF for further
guidance). Other applicable implementation guides may make additional rules about the information
that is returned. Note that for many resources, the exact nature of the link to encounter can be
ambiguous (e.g. for a DiagnosticReport, is it the encounter when it was initiated, or when it was
reported?)
