Encounter

Encounter的理解和使用
1、系统中什么时候该新建一个Encounter
2、对于遗留系统中的数据，想要使用FHIR 消息 或restful接口时，
哪些那类数据应该转换成Encounter

i am reading http://en.flossmanuals.net/openmrs-guide/openmrs-information-model/ ,it says “Encounters

A moment in time where a patient is seen by a provider at a location, and data is captured. Generally speaking, every time you enter a form in OpenMRS this creates an Encounter.

If a patient visits a clinic, checks in at registration, is seen by a doctor, and has meds dispensed in the pharmacy, this would be recorded as 3 Encounters.

The metadata that describes a kind of encounter is an Encounter Type. These are displayed in the user interface, and you may also search against them.” in FHIR under which circumstance system should create a new encounter?if i am outpatient, at first i went to doctor`s office and doctor enter a form and i get draft diagnosis （this will be a new encounter）,then I came to a imaging department and got a X-ray(should this be a new encounter and associate this one with the first one) ,after the X-ray report is ok , I Came back to my doctor and get final diagnosis and some pills to take at home and leave does this whole period can be a EpisodeOfCare (why the EpisodeOfCare.type is missing in the spec)
