Background
Historically, encounters within OpenMRS only have allowed a single provider. In many instances, there is more than one provider involved in an encounter. For example, both a doctor and a nurse involved in an outpatient encounter or multiple surgeons involved in a surgical encounter. The goal of supporting multiple providers per encounter is to allow for these people to be documented and connected to the encounter, including their role(s) within the encounter.
