Encounter

Concept

An encounter is any interaction, regardless of the situation, between a patient and the healthcare provider, in which the healthcare provider has primary responsibility for diagnosing, evaluating and treating the patient’s condition and informing the patient. These can be visits, appointments or non face-to-face interactions.

Encounters can be visits to the general practitioner or other practices, home visits, admissions (in hospitals, nursing homes or care homes, psychiatric institutions or convalescent homes) or other relevant encounters. This includes past and future encounters.

Purpose

Encounters can be recorded to provide insight on the interactions that have taken place between the patient and healthcare professional and in which context these took place.

In NCare the main purpose is to register to which departments a patient is or has been registered.

Encounters as defined by the Dutch Health and Care Information models (Dutch: Zorginformatiebouwsteen or ZIB) version 3.1.

The Encounter resource in NCare is exchanged according to the FHIR HCIM Encounter Profile

Encounter	I		Encounter	Element id Encounter Short description Encounter Alternate names Visit, Contact Definition An interaction between a patient and healthcare provider(s) for the purpose of providing healthcare service(s) or assessing the health status of a patient.

id	Σ	0..1	id	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.id Short description Logical id of this artifact Definition The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes. Comments The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation. Data type id Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() \| (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a
meta	Σ	0..1	Meta	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.meta Short description Metadata about the resource Definition The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content may not always be associated with version changes to the resource. Data type Meta Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() \| (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a rim: N/A
implicitRules	Σ ?!	0..1	uri	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.implicitRules Short description A set of rules under which this content was created Definition A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Comments Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. This element is labelled as a modifier because the implicit rules may provide additional knowledge about the resource that modifies it's meaning or interpretation. Data type uri Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() \| (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a
language		0..1	codeBinding	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.language Short description Language of the resource content Definition The base language in which the resource is written. Comments Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute). Data type code Binding A human language. ?? (extensible) Constraints ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children `hasValue() \| (children().count() > id.count())` Mappings rim: n/a
text	I	0..1	Narrative	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.text Short description Text summary of the resource, for human interpretation Alternate names narrative, html, xhtml, display Definition A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource, and may be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety. Comments Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded in formation is added later.

contained		0..*	Resource	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.contained Short description Contained, inline Resources Alternate names inline resources, anonymous resources, contained resources Definition These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope. Comments This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again.

reference	Σ I	0..1	string	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.participant.individual.reference Short description Literal reference, Relative, internal or absolute URL Definition A reference to a location at which the other resource is found. The reference may be a relative reference, in which case it is relative to the service base URL, or an absolute URL that resolves to the location where the resource is found. The reference may be version specific or not. If the reference is not to a FHIR RESTful server, then it should be assumed to be version specific. Internal fragment references (start with '#') refer to contained resources. Comments Using absolute URLs provides a stable scalable approach suitable for a cloud/web context, while using relative/logical references provides a flexible approach suitable for use when trading across closed eco-system boundaries. Absolute URLs do not need to point to a FHIR RESTful server, though this is the preferred approach. If the URL conforms to the structure "/[type]/[id]" then it should be assumed that the reference is to a FHIR RESTful server.

identifier	Σ	0..1	Identifier	There are no (further) constraints on this element Element id Encounter.participant.individual.identifier Short description Logical reference, when literal reference is not known Definition An identifier for the other resource. This is used when there is no way to reference the other resource directly, either because the entity is not available through a FHIR server, or because there is no way for the author of the resource to convert a known identifier to an actual location. There is no requirement that a Reference.identifier point to something that is actually exposed as a FHIR instance, but it SHALL point to a business concept that would be expected to be exposed as a FHIR instance, and that instance would need to be of a FHIR resource type allowed by the reference. Comments When an identifier is provided in place of a reference, any system processing the reference will only be able to resolve the identifier to a reference if it understands the business context in which the identifier is used. Sometimes this is global (e.g. a national identifier) but often it is not. For this reason, none of the useful mechanisms described for working with references (e.g. chaining, includes) are possible, nor should servers be expected to be able resolve the reference. Servers may accept an identifier based reference untouched, resolve it, and/or reject it - see CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.referencePolicy. When both an identifier and a literal reference are provided, the literal reference is preferred. Applications processing the resource are allowed - but not required - to check that the identifier matches the literal reference Applications converting a logical reference to a literal reference may choose to leave the logical reference present, or remove it.

Custom rules & extensions

Secondary location extension

To specify a location object of an encounter to be a secondary location (eg. a location for daytime activities), you can add the extension http://ncare.nl/fhir/StructureDefinition/encounter-location-issecondary to a location and set it's value to true.

Active location

We speak of an 'active location' when the location's property period.start is in the past and period.end is empty or in the future

Only one active primary location

In NCare a patient can only have one active primary location. If you update or create an encounter with a new active location and the patient already has an active location, the current active location will be set to inactive. The period.start of the new location will be used as the period end of the other location.

System properties

Some of the properties of the zib-Encounter profile are automatically filled by NCare and can not be set in an update or create. When these properties are specified in an UPDATE or CREATE command, FHIR Server for NCare simply ignores them.

The system properties are:

status: this property is determined by the locations:
- in-progress -> there is an active location
- planned -> there are no active locations, but there is one with a start date in the future
- finished -> there are only inactive locations with an end date in the past
class: this will only be ActCode "OTH" with description: "Other: afdeling/kamer plaatsingen"
period: this is determined by setting the start to the earliest location.period.start and the end to the highest value of location.period.end
serviceProvider: this is always the healthcare organization where this patient's record belongs to.

Ignored properties

Although the complete zib-Encounter profile is accepted by FHIR Server for NCare, we only store the patient data that is needed for the NCare application. The properties we don't store can therefore not be returned when the resource is retrieved with a get of course.

The properties of zib-Encounter that we ignore are:

statusHistory
classHistory
type
priority
episodeOfCare
incomingReferral
participant
appointment
length
reason
diagnosis
account
hospitalization
