MedNet Interface (MNI) - Encounter Profile. An encounter will provide information about the context in which the form will be filled It is mainly used to deliver MedNet the Visit Nr (or Case Nr), and/or the orderNr from the calling System. The goal of those values is to allow saving the copy of the form and/or the later resulting report in the calling system to an internal event. It can also include informations about the priority of the request (if it is urgent or not), or the type of form that should be filled.
