The purpose of this profile is to provide a representation of an encounter for the electronic exchange of health information between individuals, healthcare providers, and the My Health Record system infrastructure in Australia.

Profile specific guidance

  • Encounter.type supports categorisation and provides an efficient way of supporting system interactions, e.g. restricting searches. Implementers need to understand that data categorisation is somewhat subjective. The categorisation applied by the source may not align with a receiver’s expectations.
