      We will update basedOn to follow the Event pattern by including all of these below:

      Appointment, AppointmentResponse, CarePlan, Claim, CommunicationRequest, Contract, CoverageEligibilityRequest, DeviceRequest, EnrollmentRequest, EpisodeOfCare,  ImmunizationRecommendation, MedicationRequest, NutritionOrder, RequestGroup, ServiceRequest, SupplyRequest and VisionPrescription.

      And we will add in Appointment and EpisodeOfCare to .encounter and rename .encounter to .context.

    Description

      DocumentReference.encounter (in the build) only supports Encounter references.  In the R4 spec, DocRef supported context.encounter which allowed both Encounter and EpisodeOfCare.

      This tracker is request we add support for Appointments as an allowed context of DocRef in addition to Encounter.  This probably involves renaming the encounter property (maybe to "context") and allowing references to both Encounter and Appointment.
