  • Treating an order as performance, scheduling as start, completion as success, complication as proven causation, reported history as primary evidence or billing code as performed technique
  • Providing medical advice, authorizing or controlling real-time procedures, performing clinical actions, deciding malpractice or universally defining professional and legal duties

Why it exists Filled

Represent one source-qualified medical procedure occurrence or explicit non-performance so agents can distinguish request, preparation, performed technique, status, immediate outcome, outputs and safety links without conflating the event with its plan, subjects or consequences.

Distinguishing features Filled

  • Models one performed or attempted procedure occurrence, not the order, plan or procedure definition.
  • Separates order, readiness, performance, completion, success and complications.
  • Records safety checks, deviations and non-performance as part of the occurrence.
  • Links adverse events and reports that keep their own identity.

What robots and AI may and may not do Filled

Must not

  • Start, stop or perform any procedure.
  • Record a procedure as successful from completed status alone.
  • Edit a signed procedure record without an amendment.
  • Omit deviations or complications from the record.
  • Disclose procedure details outside the care and consent context.

Only with a human decision

  • Consent, indication and the decision to perform a procedure.
  • Signing the procedure record and reporting adverse events.

May

  • Record performed components, devices and timings from clinical systems.
  • Check consent, site marking and time-out completion before start.
  • Link reports, complications and adverse events.
  • Prepare procedure summaries for clinician sign-off.

Moral aspects Filled

neighbor

  • WM-ACT-049 Care Plan / Episode - A care plan may contain intended or performed procedure references, but owns its goals and planning lifecycle. The ledger containment relation is candidate and creates no cascade behavior.
  • WM-ACT-014 Health Care Delivery and WM-ACT-018 Encounter - Care-delivery and Encounter masters own system, visit, service and participant context. The procedure occurrence binds them without absorbing their lifecycle.
  • ServiceRequest, Appointment, Task, Consent and Procedure Definition - These masters own intent, scheduling, workflow fulfillment, authorization and reusable protocol. This event records what was actually attempted or done and the source-qualified links back.
  • WM-ACT-046 Clinical Observation / Diagnosis, DiagnosticReport and Condition - Observations and reports own measured results and interpretations; Condition owns complication or diagnosis assertions. This event owns output links and only a bounded immediate outcome statement.
  • Adverse Event and safety incident - An external adverse-event case owns potential harm, severity, reporting and evolving causality. The procedure occurrence records a typed association without deciding causation.
  • Device, Medication, Substance, Biologically Derived Product and Specimen - External masters own item identity and lifecycle. The occurrence records role-qualified use, manipulation, implantation, removal and specimen outputs with exact identifiers where available.
