Topic: US Core Procedure Performed element
Emma Jones (Aug 25 2021 at 13:02):
US Core Procedure.status is 1..1 and the value set used is required binding with values such as in-progress, not-done, etc.
US Core Procedure.Performed[x] is also 1..1
What are implementers doing about the procedure.performed element when the procedure status is not completed?
Seems clinically incorrect to use a DAR extension on procedure.performed (description is "When the procedure was performed") if the procedure status is not completed.
Chris Moesel (Aug 25 2021 at 13:28):
That's an interesting observation. If you leave off performed[x] for a not-done procedure then your instance won't conform to US Core Procedure -- but maybe that's OK? Does US Core care about procedures that were not actually performed?
Emma Jones (Aug 25 2021 at 13:56):
The procedure.status values implies they do. if they don't they should limit the status value set to "completed" only.

Looks like you submitted FHIR#33243 - which I think I agree with.

Yes I did :smile: Was just about to post the link to it. Thanks Cooper
