description: This profile sets minimum expectations for the Encounter resource to record, search, and fetch basic encounter information for an individual patient to promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation.  It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource when using this profile.  It provides the floor for standards development for specific uses cases.
