      Existing Wording: ClinicalImpression.code short description = "Kind of impression performed"

      Proposed Wording: "Kind of assessment performed"

      Comment:

      A clinical impression is strictly speaking the outcome of the clinical assessment, which includes the procedure and the evaluation / judgment

      As such, the short description is semantically inaccurate and confusing

      Suggest wording change, which also brings the description in alignment with ClinicalImpression.decription = "why/how the assessment was performed"
