Existing Wording

Proposed Wording

I think there is a problem with the sample CCD file C-CDA_R2-1_CCD.xml included in this package. According to section 1.1.5 the Continuity of Care Document (CCD) contains the "Encounters Section (entries optional) (V3)". But the sample contains "Encounters Section (entries required) (V3)" which has a different templateId and is intended for use in other document types. Since the document is open it's technically legal to include that other section. However I think it's inappropriate and misleading for a sample CCD to include the wrong encounters section for that document type.
