4.8 Resource Procedure - Content

This resource maintained by the Patient Care Work Group

An action that is or was performed on a patient. This can be a physical 'thing' like an operation, or less invasive like counseling or hypnotherapy.

4.8.1 Scope and Usage

This resource is used to record the details of procedures performed on a patient. A procedure is an activity that is performed with or on a patient as part of the provision of care. Examples include surgical procedures, diagnostic procedures, endoscopic procedures, biopsies, counselling, physiotherapy, exercise, etc. Procedures may be performed by a healthcare professional, a friend or relative or in some cases by the patient themselves.

This resource provides summary information about the occurrence of the procedure and is not intended to provide real-time snapshots of a procedure as it unfolds, though for long-running procedures such as psychotherapy, it could represent summary level information about overall progres. The creation of a resource to support detailed real-time procedure information awaits the identification of a specific implementation use-case to share such information.

4.8.2 Boundaries and Relationships

Procedures do not include actions things for which there are specific resources, such as immunizations, drug administrations and communications. The boundary between determining whether an action is considered to be training or counselling (and thus a procedure) as opposed to a Communication is based on whether there's a specific intent to change the mind-set of the patient. Mere disclosure of information would be considered a Communication. A process that involves verification of the patient's comprehension or to change the patient's mental state would be a Procedure.

Note that many diagnostic processes are procedures that generate Observations and DiagnosticReports. In many cases, such an observation does not require an explicit representation of the procedure used to create the observation, but where there are details of interest about how the diagnostic procedure was performed, the procedure resource is used to describe the activity.
