      Remove ClinicalImpression.plan

      Update resource scope and usage to also remove the following phrase: "and the actions taken during or planned as a result of the clinical assessment"

      The new sentence would then read:

      "Some clinical assessments simply result in an impression recorded as a single text note in the patient 'record' (e.g. "Progress satisfactory, continue with treatment"), while others are associated with careful, detailed record keeping of the evidence gathered, and the reasoning leading to a differential diagnosis, and there is a continuum between these."

      ClinicalImpression.plan

      Plan of action after assessment should not be part of Clinical Impression which should comprise only the assessment process and the finding/impression

      Plan of action is part of clinical management plan. It may be supported by ClinicalImpression, as such, Paln of action can reference ClinicalImpression
