      Both references are valid and important, however as noted by Lloyd, these should never be the same encounter/procedure referred.

      An example use case would be a followup encounter to resolve complications from another encounter's procedure.

      Clarifying text will be added to the specification.

    Description

      Resource references exist in both directions for Procedure and Encounter as follows:

      Procedure.encounter (to Encounter)
      Encounter.indication (to Procedure)

      Per QA 5a:

      Elements with a type of Resource Reference should be reviewed such that a given relationship shall only be represented in one resource, not both (and should generally be present on the resource that is normally created second - e.g. Procedure is usually created after Encounter, so reference would live on Procedure)
