Each Procedure has next elements:

  • a status
  • a code that identifies the type of procedure performed on the patient

  • A procedure including an implantable device SHOULD use Procedure.focalDevice with a reference to the US Core Implantable Device Profile.

This resource conforms to USCDI V1 profile for Procedure - refer to StructureDefinition US Core Procedure. Procedure response will be provided in JSON (refers to Capability Statement) format as per FHIR standard R4 version.
