This was discussed in a joint PA/PC WGM per meeting minutes, http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=2016-05-11_PA_WGM_Minutes#Wednesday_Q2, in context of whether Encounter.participant should reference CareTeam. The discussion concluded with an understanding that the CareTeam is a planning resource whereas Encounter.participants reflect actual participation.

The CareTeam resource would not be used to record unplanned participants in the delivery of care. Use Encounter.participants to reflect actual participation
