Should 'clinical history taking' be a subclass of OBI 'planned process'? #92

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
A clinical history taking is "an interview in which a clinician elicits a 
clinical history from a patient or from a third party who is reporting on 
behalf of the patient." [1]
A planned process is "a processual entity that realizes a plan which is the 
concretization of a plan specification." [2]

I'm having trouble imagining clinical history takings that do not realize such 
a plan. Putting 'clinical history taking' under 'planned process' would bring 
it closer to other things it resembles, like 'informed consent process' [3]. 
The patient history questionnaires I'm working with are (or contain) plan 
specifications [4].
