What is the way in FHIR to connect Outcome measurements (e.g. observations with a mental or physical status) to certain procedures?
- In R4, Observation has a partOf element. Would that fit the purpose?
- CarePlan has an outcomeReference element that allows to reference any resource

Aah, I now also see the Procedure.report that allows a reference to a DiagnosticReport

All of those are options - which works best depends on the semantics of the link. A surgical report would use Procedure.report. Measurements/observations taken during surgery (e.g. pulseox, assessments by the surgeon, etc.) could use the 'partOf'. CarePlan would be more for post assessments. I.e. "We tried physio for three weeks, the result of that was X".
