Instruction, activity and action records detail how care should be, and how care has been, provided. Instructions determine a set of activities that target goals from the care plan. Actions log that a planned (or unplanned) activity has been completed and any outcomes or observations associated with the action.
Instructions are typically determined during care planning and determine a set of Activities that target Goals for the Subject of care from the Care plan.
Activities are performed for the Subject of care and are typically (not always) scheduled or planned in advance during care planning. Activities include:
provision of Medications
Healthcare Procedures
Communication activities
provision of Devices
or Services
Activities will usually be (not always) performed in a given Location.
Actions “log” that a planned Activity has been performed including when and where it was performed, as well as Observations whilst the Activity was taking place. Planned Activities will often be associated with a set of Actions that have been performed.
