Concepts

This case-sensitive code system http://hl7.org/fhir/encounter-class defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
inpatient InpatientAn encounter during which the patient is hospitalized and stays overnight.
outpatient OutpatientAn encounter during which the patient is not hospitalized overnight.
ambulatory AmbulatoryAn encounter where the patient visits the practitioner in his/her office, e.g. a G.P. visit.
emergency EmergencyAn encounter in the Emergency Care Department.
home HomeAn encounter where the practitioner visits the patient at his/her home.
field FieldAn encounter taking place outside the regular environment for giving care.
daytime DaytimeAn encounter where the patient needs more prolonged treatment or investigations than outpatients, but who do not need to stay in the hospital overnight.
virtual VirtualAn encounter that takes place where the patient and practitioner do not physically meet but use electronic means for contact.
other OtherAny other encounter type that is not described by one of the other values. Where this is used it is expected that an implementer will include an extension value to define what the actual other type is.
