Thank you very much for the schema.

However I believe that the handling of an Action should start earlier before the "INITIAL" state.

- "SUGGESTED"

Preliminary informal suggestion, according to some generic guidelines, regardless of the details of the current context of the patient

- "POROPSED"

It could be useful to record temporarily proposals by student, junior assistant or nurse, or simply when a staff member is considering some action while waiting on more information from the lab.

Nothing yet done, but information could be useful to be recorded temporarily as an element of discussion.

- "VALIDATED"

The decision for he action is confirmed by an authorised member of the staff.

Although not yet scheduled.

The author of an order is also responsible to specify a time range, from "very urgent" to "to be done within on month".

If the time would have been outdated the order should be reevaluated.


the above 3 action types would normally be mapped to the 'PLANNED' state - that's the point of the standard state machine - to be reasonably simple, but to allow any action plan to be mapped to it.

- etc as on the schema .....

- "STARTED"

For example a treatment for 10 days is actually started.

Or a bacteriology test which necessitate at least 24 hours.


this would probably be mapped to the ACTIVE state.
