Clarification needed on term "procedure"
A note to clarify what is meant by procedures would be helpful here because everything, lab tests, radiology studies, etc. could be considered procedures in some sense of the meaning. FHIR used “procedure” to mean surgical and similar invasive processes. It is messy because CPT, for example, considers tests of all kinds as procedures, so some distinctions would be helpful.
