-> The **Resolution type** specifies how the MedTech service associates device data with Device resources and Patient resources. The MedTech service reads Device and Patient resources from the FHIR service using [device identifiers](https://www.hl7.org/fhir/r4/device-definitions.html#Device.identifier) and [patient identifiers](https://www.hl7.org/fhir/r4/patient-definitions.html#Patient.identifier). If an [encounter identifier](https://hl7.org/fhir/r4/encounter-definitions.html#Encounter.identifier) is specified and extracted from the device data payload, it's linked to the observation if an encounter exists on the FHIR service with that identifier. If the [encounter identifier](../../healthcare-apis/release-notes.md#medtech-service) is successfully normalized, but no FHIR Encounter exists with that encounter identifier, a **FhirResourceNotFound** exception is thrown. For more information on configuring the the MedTech service **Resolution type**, see [Configure the Destination tab](deploy-manual-portal.md#configure-the-destination-tab).
