- **Encounter.identifier**: workflow=Event.identifier; w5=FiveWs.identifier; v2=PV1-19; rim=.id
- **Encounter.status**: workflow=Event.status; w5=FiveWs.status; v2=No clear equivalent in HL7 V2; active/finished could be inferred from PV1-44, PV1-45, PV2-24; inactive could be inferred from PV2-16; rim=.statusCode
- **Encounter.class**: w5=FiveWs.class; v2=PV1-2; rim=.inboundRelationship[typeCode=SUBJ].source[classCode=LIST].code
- **Encounter.priority**: w5=FiveWs.grade; v2=PV2-25; rim=.priorityCode
- **Encounter.type**: workflow=Event.code; w5=FiveWs.what[x]; v2=PV1-4 / PV1-18; rim=.code
- **Encounter.serviceType**: workflow=Event.code; v2=PV1-10; rim=n/a
- **Encounter.subject**: workflow=Event.subject; w5=FiveWs.subject; v2=PID-3; rim=.participation[typeCode=SBJ]/role[classCode=PAT]
- **Encounter.episodeOfCare**: w5=FiveWs.context; v2=PV1-54, PV1-53; rim=n/a
- **Encounter.basedOn**: workflow=Event.basedOn; rim=.reason.ClinicalDocument
- **Encounter.careTeam**: rim=n/a
- **Encounter.partOf**: workflow=Event.partOf; rim=.inboundRelationship[typeCode=COMP].source[classCode=COMP, moodCode=EVN]
- **Encounter.serviceProvider**: workflow=Event.performer.actor; v2=PL.6  & PL.1; rim=.participation[typeCode=PRF].role
- **Encounter.participant**: workflow=Event.performer; v2=ROL; rim=.participation[typeCode=PRF]
- **Encounter.participant.type**: workflow=Event.performer.function; v2=ROL-3 (or maybe PRT-4); rim=.functionCode

- **Encounter.participant.actor**: workflow=Event.performer.actor; w5=FiveWs.who; v2=ROL-4; rim=.role
- **Encounter.appointment**: workflow=Event.basedOn; v2=SCH-1 / SCH-2; rim=.outboundRelationship[typeCode=FLFS].target[classCode=ENC, moodCode=APT]

- **Encounter.length**: workflow=Event.occurrence[x]; v2=(PV1-45 less PV1-44) iff ( (PV1-44 not empty) and (PV1-45 not empty) ); units in minutes or PV2-11 (which is actual length in days); rim=.lengthOfStayQuantity
- **Encounter.reason.value**: workflow=Event.reason; w5=FiveWs.why[x]; v2=EVN-4 / PV2-3 (note: PV2-3 is nominally constrained to inpatient admissions; HL7 V2 makes no vocabulary suggestions for PV2-3; would not expect PV2 segment or PV2-3 to be in use in all implementations ); rim=.reasonCode
- **Encounter.diagnosis**: rim=.outboundRelationship[typeCode=RSON]
- **Encounter.diagnosis.condition**: workflow=Event.reason; w5=FiveWs.why[x]; v2=Resources that would commonly referenced at Encounter.indication would be Condition and/or Procedure. These most closely align with DG1/PRB and PR1 respectively.; rim=.outboundRelationship[typeCode=RSON].target
