Hi all,
If I wanted to note that a patient is doing regular exercise, noting both the type and frequency if possible, what FHIR resource should I use? Procedure? Observation?
Thanks in advance.

Observation

There might be appropriate LOINC codes already - see https://loinc.org/68516-4/ for example

I'd actually argue for Procedure. It gives you the ability to capture type, frequency, duration, etc. in standard elements. With Observation, you'd have to find observation codes for each of those things and package them as components, which would mean less standardization around representation.

My experience is the exercise monitors are using Observations not Procedures to record activity. See for example https://www.openmhealth.org/

there's a difference between "record of an exercise I did" and "this is my exercise program"
