We discussed encounters a bit at HackathonTwo; the only thing I remember is 
that I'm supposed to split ticket #155. More on that in due course. Meanwhile...

It's by design (limitation) that NAACR encounters don't show up in the 
Encounters portion of the  i2b2 tree, at least the KUMC i2b2 tree.

And yes, they're unique; i.e. we don't (yet) support same-encounter queries 
between the tumour registry and anything else; we're considering 
per-patient-day encounter support that should result in a bit of integration. 
(for KUMC folks: #333 and nearby tickets tagged encounter-mapping)

Encounter type support is weak in HERON ETL. The only encounter types you'll 
see from HERON ETL come from Epic, and then only for in-patient, I think. In 
the visit_dimension generated by HERON ETL, the encounter types are all null. I 
hope other (Hubert, ...) take the lead on this and produce something we can 
integrate into HERON ETL.

Subject: NAACCR Encounter type?

Hey all,

I’m close to loading our NAACCR data into our I2B2 instance, which involves 
generating encounter records (per the tumor_reg_visits table referenced in 
KUMC’s naaccr_facts_load.sql).  These encounters don’t line up with any 
existing encounters, they’re all unique.

My question is, should these NAACCR “encounters” be represented in the 
Encounters portion of the I2B2 tree?  I checked Babel and spot-checked a few 
setups and didn’t see any reference to NAACCR under Encounter Type, which is 
where I’d expect to find it.

Has this been considered/discussed/rejected?  Your thoughts are welcome.
