      Update Procedure boundaries as follows:

      The Procedure resource should not be used to capture an event if a more specific resource already exists - e.g. immunizations, drug administrations, communications, and nutrition intake.

    Description

      How to store the nutrients of a nutrition administration to a patient (such as enteral feeds, manual feeding, and bottle feeding)?

       

      For example, the patient received 100ml of breast milk. Thus, the patient received 280KJ of energy, 4.2g of fat, etc.

       

      Our suggestion/proposal is to add an element (e.g., named as “nutricionFact”) in Procedure (or in the resource used for nutrition administration) with code+value pair consisting of the CodeableConcept (1..1) (nutrient) and value[x] (1..1). This suggestion is similar to the one proposed on https://jira.hl7.org/browse/FHIR-32278
