      Profiles should be used to constrain a precise UTC timestamp with timezone, when needed.

      Add comment to Procedure.performed to indidate:

      dateTime supports a range of precision due to some procedures being reported as past procedures that may not have millisecond precision while other procedures performed and documented during the encounter will have more precise UTC timestamps with timezone.

      This comments was submitted on behalf of the VA Medical Device interoperabilty Program (Greg Saudenmaier).

      If a procedure is started/stopped using a device (e.g. infusion pump, vital sign monitor, pulse oximeter, dialysis, anesthesia) the date/time should be an "instant" but the current design of Procedure does not support. Please clarify how to specify the start and end of the procedure if they are set by teh system/device.
