Encounters are rolled out unequally across GPC right now. Given
differences in system installations, I suggest you consider the PCORI
common data model for encounters which we all must implement (and are
implementing or have implemented. Encounter types indicate whether
encounters are scheduled or completed:
ENCOUNTR TYPE (LOINC: 75525-6)
COMPLETED: AV=AMBULATORY VISIT; ED=EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT; IS=
NONINSTITUTIONAL INPATIENT STAY; IP=INPATIENT STAY; OA=OTHER AMBULATORY
VISIT
SCHEDULED OR ADMINISTRATIVE: OT=OTHER; UN=UNKNOWN; NI=NO INFORMATION
Our source data at UNMC has considerable more detail regarding
administrative types of encounters and you should tell us if you have
needs for tracking those types of events.
The Completed encounter types are actual face-to-face encounters of some
type with the patient and are those you presumably what you want for
research. The others are administrative or scheduling encounters and
should be ignored for patient care issues
Have I answered your question?
