How is the patient reporting back their exercise activity to the clinician?

I think it is better to create a new Composition for each 'patient
report' rather than re-versioning a single Composition. The question
then is how and, how often, the patient sends a report.

As an example, let's say the patient reports weekly. In that case I
would generate a new event Composition for each weekly report.

Perhaps you could use a CLUSTER archetype to represent both
recommended exercise, and the patient reported outcome, to be used in
both the INSTRUCTION/ACTIVITY and in the ACTIONs. Can you gove more
information on some of the detail of the exercise recommendations and
the patient reports.
