This is how I understand it as well, just in the interests of avoiding
confusion, so a Folder solution as described above is for episodes of
care, within an institution, or something that functions like an
institution, and where there is internal continuity of care, e.g. an
integrated area or city health service.

As Dileep has indicated he probably would use folders if Ethercis supported
them. Another alternative is to create an Encounter ID for each new

An Encounter (in community medicine) is very much different
from an Episode of Care.
An Encounter happens when patient and healthcare system
"meet" in some way, it is one-off. It can encompass a
multitude of Reasons for Encounter, about different care
targets.
An Episode of Care is a time range during which one
particular care target is handled. It manifests itself during
1..many Encounters, each of which is about 1..many care
targets (problems).
