class cardea.fhir.Procedure(dict_values=None)

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

Parameters

• resourceType – This is a Procedure resource

• identifier – This records identifiers associated with this procedure that are defined by business processes and/or used to refer to it when a direct URL reference to the resource itself is not appropriate (e.g. in CDA documents, or in written / printed documentation).

• definition – A protocol, guideline, orderset or other definition that was adhered to in whole or in part by this procedure.

• basedOn – A reference to a resource that contains details of the request for this procedure.

• partOf – A larger event of which this particular procedure is a component or step.

• status – A code specifying the state of the procedure. Generally this will be in-progress or completed state.

• notDone – Set this to true if the record is saying that the procedure was NOT performed.

• notDoneReason – A code indicating why the procedure was not performed.

• category – A code that classifies the procedure for searching, sorting and display purposes (e.g. “Surgical Procedure”).

• code – The specific procedure that is performed. Use text if the exact nature of the procedure cannot be coded (e.g. “Laparoscopic Appendectomy”).

• subject – The person, animal or group on which the procedure was performed.

• context – The encounter during which the procedure was performed.

• performedDateTime – The date(time)/period over which the procedure was performed. Allows a period to support complex procedures that span more than one date, and also allows for the length of the procedure to be captured.

• performedPeriod – The date(time)/period over which the procedure was performed. Allows a period to support complex procedures that span more than one date, and also allows for the length of the procedure to be captured.

• performer – Limited to ‘real’ people rather than equipment.

• location – The location where the procedure actually happened. E.g. a newborn at home, a tracheostomy at a restaurant.

• reasonCode – The coded reason why the procedure was performed. This may be coded entity of some type, or may simply be present as text.

• reasonReference – The condition that is the reason why the procedure was performed.

• bodySite – Detailed and structured anatomical location information. Multiple locations are allowed - e.g. multiple punch biopsies of a lesion.

• outcome – The outcome of the procedure - did it resolve reasons for the procedure being performed?

• report – This could be a histology result, pathology report, surgical report, etc..

• complication – Any complications that occurred during the procedure, or in the immediate post-performance period. These are generally tracked separately from the notes, which will typically describe the procedure itself rather than any ‘post procedure’ issues.

• complicationDetail – Any complications that occurred during the procedure, or in the immediate post-performance period.

• followUp – If the procedure required specific follow up - e.g. removal of sutures. The followup may be represented as a simple note, or could potentially be more complex in which case the CarePlan resource can be used.

• note – Any other notes about the procedure. E.g. the operative notes.

• focalDevice – A device that is implanted, removed or otherwise manipulated (calibration, battery replacement, fitting a prosthesis, attaching a wound-vac, etc.) as a focal portion of the Procedure.

• usedReference – Identifies medications, devices and any other substance used as part of the procedure.

• usedCode – Identifies coded items that were used as part of the procedure.
