      Existing Wording: An episode of care that this encounter should be recorded against - also the UML Diagram

      Proposed Wording: Episodes of care can overlap and reference common encounters.

      Update UML diagram

      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.
