health care process assay

The word "assay" is typically used for things done in a lab. Wikipedia definition for Assay: An assay is an investigative (analytic) procedure in laboratory medicine, pharmacology, environmental biology and molecular biology for qualitatively assessing or quantitatively measuring the presence, amount, or functional activity of a target entity (the analyte). The analyte can be a drug, a biochemical substance, or a cell in an organism or organic sample.

Therefore, "clinical history taking" and "physical examination" are not sub-classes of Assay. They can be moved up to parent term "health care process".

This leaves just "laboratory test" as the only sub-class. Suggest that this too be moved up and entirely delete the "health care process assay".
