The PROCEDURE_OCCURRENCE table contains records of activities or processes ordered by, or carried out by, a healthcare provider on the patient to have a diagnostic or therapeutic purpose. Procedures are present in various data sources in different forms with varying levels of standardization. For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Medical Claims include procedure codes that are submitted as part of a claim for health services rendered, including procedures performed.
|
||
|
|
* Electronic Health Records that capture procedures as orders.

### Conventions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Valid Procedure Concepts belong to the "Procedure" domain. Procedure Concepts are based on a variety of vocabularies: SNOMED-CT, ICD-9-Proc, CPT-4, HCPCS and OPCS-4, but also atypical Vocabularies such as ICD-9-CM or MedDRA.
|
||
|
|
* Procedures are expected to be carried out within one day and therefore have no end date.
|
||
|
|
* Procedures could involve the application of a drug, in which case the procedural component is recorded in the procedure table and simultaneously the administered drug in the drug exposure table when both the procedural component and drug are identifiable.
|
||
|
|
* If the quantity value is omitted, a single procedure is assumed.
|
||
|
|
* The Procedure Type defines from where the Procedure Occurrence is drawn or inferred. For administrative claims records the type indicates whether a Procedure was primary or secondary and their relative positioning within a claim.
|
||
|
|
* The Visit during which the procedure was performed is recorded through a reference to the VISIT_OCCURRENCE table. This information is not always available.
|
||
|
|
* The Provider carrying out the procedure is recorded through a reference to the PROVIDER table. This information is not always available.
