      MS introduced on Encounter.reason when Encounter profile added in version 2.0.0 end of 2018. USCDI V2 introduced Encounter but no reason element.

      Since this is not new, we are proposing no action.

    Description

      Currently we have Encounter.reason and reasonCode as must support.  We also have Condition.encounter.  The fate of Condition.encounter is a bit up in the air (as of 2022-02-03), due to FHIR-34553, but the possible resolutions to that tracker are very likely to have encounter diagnoses being represented via Condition.encounter.

       

      I think we should either have MS on Encounter.reason* properties, OR a requirement on Condition.encounter (either MS or equivalent conditional narrative, as proposed in FHIR-34553).  I don't think we should have requirements on BOTH.

       

      Note: While US Core is not based on FHIR R5, in R5, PA and PC made (/are making) some major changes to Encounter.diagnosis and Condition.encounter.  FHIR-16148.   I'm not sure we have enough clarity from ONC about what they mean by "Encounter Diagnosis to really align with the R5 modeling though...
