Issue

Align clinical statement observation and procedure with source models

Recommendation

• Add interruptableInd to observation and procedure
• Add indepdendentInd to observation

Rationale

• InterruptableInd is added to orders to communicate that a particular diagnostic or treatment can't be "stopped" during the action itself.
• IndependentInd is added to associated acts (associated using act relationships) when a particular class can't be "interpreted" without the associated act (so the value is set to false)

Recommended Action Items

• Add Observation.interruptableInd and Procedure.interruptableInd
  • interruptable description: used to indicate, on a request, that a particular action cannot be stopped during that action (e.g. 24 hour specimen collection procedure cannot be stopped in the middle)
  • Observation.interruptibleInd: BL [0..1] optional
  • Procedure.interruptibleInd: BL [0..1] optional

• Add Observation.indepdendentInd
  • description: indicates whether this observation can be understood without accompanying associated information.
  • Observation.independentInd: BL [0..1] optional
