This resource contains details and outcomes for a patient encounter, which can include one or more providers, locations, and services.
Encounters may encompass preadmission, outpatient visits, telehealth visits, inpatient stays, and discharges, depending on the organization and context for the encounter.
Encounters may contain references to procedures if:
- A procedure was completed during a patient visit.
- A follow-up procedure is scheduled as a result of the encounter.
You can review, retrieve, save, or cancel encounter details.
We support any valid FHIR® field. However, we only display fields we’ve defined in our schema, which are usually based on what’s included in the U.S. Core profile. We recommend relying on U.S. Core requirements.
Our schema examples show the shape and possibility of each FHIR® resource; they aren’t code for real-time API calls. We don’t currently recommend copying and pasting these schema examples for your API calls. Consider reviewing FHIR® API actions for realistic examples for particular use cases.
