Hello Erik, I will provide you a quick answer, but I'll reply to the list so other may comment as well.
Instructions and Actions are both entry subtypes but the difference is that Instructions tell what the planned activities were and Actions tell which actual actions were taken. They are meant to be recorded separately and since the instruction state machine (ISM) used in openEHR is coded by the support terminology the available states are static and every recorded action will cause a care flow step to be taken (which has an optional description) that defines a transition state in the ISM. Also note that if the action was caused by an instruction the action will hold instruction details that reference the instruction and activity that was planned for the action.
