      The admission encounter (defined by where the hospitalization component is entered) has the period as defined by the admission.

      In a case where the ER encounter occurs prior to admission, a seperate encounter could be used to capture this (with its own period) and then be linked into the admission encounter via the part-of property on the ER encounter.

      Proposed Wording: Add hospitalization.period

      Comment:

      The encompassing encounter period may be different than the hospitalization period. The hospitalization would start on admission, but if the patient went to the ER or other department first, that may have not triggered an admission at that time.
