I can double-check and confirm, but also just want to add: a) Thanks for asking it (always makes me think there's at least one other person wondering the same thing, and b) Here in this safe place: no such thing as a stupid question!

Hello all, yes, hospitalization is categorized as an "Encounter" criteria, and "ENCTR" is the abbreviation used for "encounter" in the older version of default criteria for Influenza-associated hospitalizations (1.0 Release 20200110). The logic set was named "ENCTR+LAB"
If you import the newest version (2.0 Release 20200608), that should match the Reporting Specifications document in the content repository. As a note, the Encounter+ Lab logic set is not currently operational.

Thanks,
Shaily
