      Agree to change the cardinality of the EpisodeOfCare property on the Encounter Resoure from 0..1 to 0..*

      And also include additional notes describing the usage between the 2, and that profiling may be used to constrain for specific use cases.

      Comment:

      The relationship between an encounter and episode of care is not parent child. Mayo has encounters linked to multiple episodes of care. (see attached document: Episode of Care and Encounters.pdf).

      Two patterns could be considered, encounters pointing to episodes of care or episode of care pointing to contained encounters. Mayo implmenters have expressed a desire to have episode(s) of care point to associated encounters. They would like to leave encounters untouched when grouping them under an episode of care.
