The order of the remaining fields does not matter.
Field Name | Description | Requirement |

External ID | This identifier will be used for looking up the chart in WebChart , to insert or update, and must match an Employee ID from the Employee Demographic Import specification. | Required |

If a visit type is not indicated using encounters.visit_type field, the encounter will be created without a service date (i.e., it will be blank).
