Many payors now require a snapshot of patient conditions and lists (FHIR terms for _Issues_) in the encounters. In case anyone needs this feature, check [this set of files](https://github.com/mdsupport/openemr/commit/dbefcf27f9c47e75d26c89fa55655c25ff107a76) as a short term solution.

As billing requirements increasing require issues oriented documentation, there is need for retaining issue state at time of encounters.
