Hi Ian,

When the fact that the Composition is associated to an encounter or episode
of care is recorded by including a reference to that composition in a
folder, some clinical context/information related to that composition is
now stored outside the composition, by means of a refence in a folder

Unless I'm missing an Aql feature that can help, you can no longer select
those compositions via Aql (since Aql does not support/specify how to
resolve refs)

If you follow the encounter id approach you mentioned, then you could use
Aql.

In fact, if Ethercis had support for Folder, Dileep would still not be able
to get those compositions with a singl query: he'd need to fetchs uids from
a folder with one query, then perform a second query to get compositions in
the way I suggested.

I'm probably being unnecessarily picky here, just pointing at the
difference between approaches and trying to put my finger on any downstream
issues. I'm not doing a great job of it though :)
