Resource Profile: EncounterLite v2

Official URL: https://fhir.cambio.se/StructureDefinition/EncounterLite/v2 Version: 2.0.0
Draft as of 2026-05-27 Computable Name: EncounterLiteV2

Introduction

EncounterLite profile is a lightweight Cambio profile with the intended use of retrieving encounters.
It currently supports two operations, one for fetching ongoing inpatient encounters at a specific care unit (also supported previously in v1) and another one for fetching all types of encounters for a specific patient.

Must Support

The MustSupport-flag indicates which attributes are supported by Cambio, meaning that those can be returned as part of the encounter.

Specific Rules and Limitations

Type Description
Limitation Supported operation #1: It is only possible to request inpatient encounters with the status being "in-progress" or "onleave".
Rule The consumer of the API is responsible for making sure data retrieved is filtered in compliance with laws and regulations prior to presenting it to any end-users.

Versions

COS version Profile version Required COSMIC version Date Description
4.3.0 1.0.0 3.12.0 Jul 2024 Initial version, support for search inpatient encounters by location.
4.20.0 2.0.0 5.0.0 Apr 2026 New less restrictive design and addition of mandatory attributes as well as the possibility to fetch encounters for a specific patient.
