- Field Detail
  - identifier
```
protected List<Identifier> identifier
```
    Identifier(s) by which this encounter is known.
  - status
```
protected Enumeration<Encounter.EncounterStatus> status
```
    planned | arrived | triaged | in-progress | onleave | finished | cancelled +.
  - statusHistory
```
protected List<Encounter.StatusHistoryComponent> statusHistory
```
    The status history permits the encounter resource to contain the status history without needing to read through the historical versions of the resource, or even have the server store them.
  - class_
```
protected Coding class_
```
    Concepts representing classification of patient encounter such as ambulatory (outpatient), inpatient, emergency, home health or others due to local variations.
  - classHistory
```
protected List<Encounter.ClassHistoryComponent> classHistory
```
    The class history permits the tracking of the encounters transitions without needing to go through the resource history. This would be used for a case where an admission starts of as an emergency encounter, then transitions into an inpatient scenario. Doing this and not restarting a new encounter ensures that any lab/diagnostic results can more easily follow the patient and not require re-processing and not get lost or cancelled during a kind of discharge from emergency to inpatient.
  - type
```
protected List<CodeableConcept> type
```
    Specific type of encounter (e.g. e-mail consultation, surgical day-care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation).
  - serviceType
```
protected CodeableConcept serviceType
```
    Broad categorization of the service that is to be provided (e.g. cardiology).
  - priority
```
protected CodeableConcept priority
```
    Indicates the urgency of the encounter.
  - subject
```
protected Reference subject
```
    The patient or group present at the encounter.

```
protected Resource subjectTarget
```
    The actual object that is the target of the reference (The patient or group present at the encounter.)
  - episodeOfCare
```
protected List<Reference> episodeOfCare
```
    Where a specific encounter should be classified as a part of a specific episode(s) of care this field should be used. This association can facilitate grouping of related encounters together for a specific purpose, such as government reporting, issue tracking, association via a common problem. The association is recorded on the encounter as these are typically created after the episode of care and grouped on entry rather than editing the episode of care to append another encounter to it (the episode of care could span years).
  - episodeOfCareTarget
```
protected List<EpisodeOfCare> episodeOfCareTarget
```
    The actual objects that are the target of the reference (Where a specific encounter should be classified as a part of a specific episode(s) of care this field should be used.

```
    Reason the encounter takes place, expressed as a code. For admissions, this can be used for a coded admission diagnosis.
  - reasonReferenceTarget
```
protected List<Resource> reasonReferenceTarget
