description: This profile represents the constraints applied to the Encounter resource by the CA Core+ project to represent the minimum expectations for the Encounter resource when used to promote capacity building for functionality found across Canadian FHIR implementations. It is informed by the constraints of shared across CIHI pCHDCF data sets. In the future it will also undergo analysis against the [CA Baseline Encounter profile](https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7-Canada/ca-baseline/branches/master/StructureDefinition-profile-encounter.html) to assess and address alignment
