CarePlans not included in Encounter API queries

[craigmcginley]

CarePlans associated with an encounter are not represented as a resource in the $everything response for an Encounter.

For instance this CarePlan has a context: { reference: "Encounter/58b3663e3425def0f0f6a22a" }, but the CarePlan is not a resource listed in the $everything query for that Encounter.

The FHIR spec for Encounter$everything operation seems to indicate the response should include all referenced resources for the encounter, as well as what the server may deem associated.

I would assume the CarePlan is associated, but I'm wondering if you have reasons not to include it in the response.

Note: This FHIR.org API does include CarePlans in the Encounter$everything response.

There is no reason not to include CarePlans in the $everything operation, so this is indeed a bug. We have plans to make updates, but timeline is TBD.
