      There are 2 types of accounts in use, episodic and wholistic, and these 2 have "competing" styles of usage (and referencing).

      (Payment methods would also introduce another type too)

      The design as it stands in R4 primarily caters for the long term wholistic approach - where having the Episode reference in the account would become large and unmanageable?

      Consideration is being made to should we have both direction references.

      Would that then require use of a type or validation constraint to only permit usage in one way?

      The credit card account type is misleading to indicate that this resource type is to be used for payment methods also.

      For simple interactions with the API we would like the ability to link from account back to encounter. In our system the account is generated and relates back to the encounter. An extension would be sufficient, but the idea is if a consumer of the API would need to potentially do multiple transactions to create acocunt, create an encounter, and then potentially link the resources. Where if they create the encounter and then the account, they would be able to add the encounter link directly on the account.
