      Will append the following text to the existing Boundaries & Relationships section:

      Some diagnostic procedures may not have a Procedure record. The Procedure record is only necessary when there is a need to capture information about the physical intervention that was performed to capture the diagnostic information (e.g. anaesthetic, incision, scope size, etc.)

      Comment:

      previously in HL7 (and I think in FHIR) Procedures were limited to invasive things not testing. The former usually are initiated by a consolation not an order. And in MU invasive procedures are defined as SNOMED codes and tests and diagnostic studies by LOINC codes_ could you remove the examples of Diagnostic procedures and endoscopic procedures to make the description the same as in the detailed description which says "

      An action that is or was performed on a patient. This can be a physical 'thing' like an operation, or less invasive like counseling or hypnotherapy.

      The description associated with it on this page will create a hopeless entanglement and endless arguments about what to do with diagnostic studies
