Encounter

FHIR Encounter explained: classes, statuses, participants, diagnoses and locations, with an example

Encounter is the FHIR resource for a visit, an admission, a telehealth call or a home visit: when it happened, in what setting, who took part, why, and what was diagnosed. The status lifecycle, the class codes (ambulatory, inpatient, emergency, virtual), hospitalisation details, a valid R4 example, and what changed in R5.
