A
medical procedure is a course of action intended to achieve a result
in the care of persons with health problems.
A medical procedure with the intention of determining, measuring or
diagnosing a patient condition or parameter is also called a medical
test. Other common kinds of procedures are therapeutic (i.e., with
the intention or treating, curing or restoring function or
structure), including the large group of surgical procedures.
Rehabilitation procedures are included in this group. |
