Encounter
Class PatientTransfer

The act of transferring a patient from one location or responsible organization to another. Note that a transfer from organization to another will, by definition, trigger a new encounter. Note that a transfer from one location to another may trigger a new encounter depending on whether the responsible organization has changed. A movement from one bed within the same ward to another probably will not, but a movement from one ward to another probably would.
