Question: Act-relationship for Pathology Dissection
May 28, 2013Question Pathology resident performs a gross dissection examination of the tissue submitted from a surgical procedure performed by a doctor to remove a patient’s gallbladder.
What is the ActRelationship?
Answer
Well, that’s kind of difficult. If I was doing this for real, I’d ask a lot of questions, but here’s a tentative outline:
- Pathology Resident (role/entity)
- performs (Participation type = performs)
- a gross dissection examination (Procedure [1])
- of the tissue (role/entity participating as subject or specimen)
- submitted (act-relationship from specimen role, typeCode =product)
- from a surgical procedure (Procedure [2])
- performed by a doctor (performer to procedure [2])
- to remove a patient’s (subject of procedure [2])
- gallbladder (targetSiteCode of procedure [2])
That shouldn’t be taken as final. Some variations of this are possible, depending on the answer to the questions. (e.g. I swept the submission under the carpet in this outline. I don’t know whether the act of submission is interesting and/or relevant or not)
