We will have the notion of a "visit" in OpenMRS by 1.9 that will group encounters. In the meantime, grouping encounters requires a strategy for grouping that uses encounter dates, encounter types, and/or observations to form the groupings you need. Or, as Ben suggests, creation of a module to mimic our upcoming "visit" grouping.
