The ACTION.procedure archetype mentions that it is not to be used to record details about laboratory investigations - use ACTION.laboratory_test for this purpose. Unfortunately, this particular archetype is missing. Are there any plans currently to address this?

Hi! The ACTION.procedure archetype description should probably be updated. Currently, the ACTION archetype intended for lab results etc is the as yet unreviewed ACTION.service (https://ckm.openehr.org/ckm/archetypes/1013.1.2374).
