      Rename from "type" to "name" on both Procedure and ProcedureRequest

      In short definitions, add example. ?"Surgical Procedure" for category, "Laparoscopic Appendectomy" for name

      Add rationale for both category and name:

      "Allows procedures to be filtered/grouped by high-level category when the displaying system may not have access to the hierarchy associated with the procedure name. ?E.g. separate "surgeries" from "counselling""

      "Identifies the specific type of precedure done"

      Add a "notes" section that says the following:

      Many of the elements of Procedure have inherent relationships and may actually all be conveyed within the "name" property. ?I.e. With "name", you may be able to infer category, bodySite and even indication. ?Whether these other properties will be populated may vary by implementation. ?Care should be taken to avoid non-sensical combinations/statements. ?E.g. "name=amputation, bodySite=heart"

      Existing Wording: Procedure.type - The specific procedure that is performed. Use text if the exact nature of the

      procedure can't be coded.

      Comment:

      Hard to guess the difference between procedure category and type.

      the def for type =a category of people or things having common characteristics.

      The def for category =a class or division of people or things regarded as having particular shared characteristics.
