Description
In conjunction with FHIR-39938 (definitions of screening and assessments) the title and content of section 3.6 Screening and Assessments, should be revamped. With the title and continued use of the term “Screening and Assessments” in the content, it makes it sound like these are 2 different things; one being a screening and the other is an assessment. However, this section really seems to be talking about two different types of assessments: 1) assessments derived from screening (screening assessments/observations) (corresponding to the Screening Assessment Observation profile) and 2) simple assessments often made by a clinician (simple assessments/observations) (corresponding to the Simple Observation profile).
Consider naming this section simply “Assessments” or enumerate them both, such as “Screening Assessments and Simple Assessments” or “Screening and Simple Assessments”. In the content when both are being mentioned together, they should either be called “assessments” or both types explicitly mentioned.
