An activity of or relating to the practice of medicine or involving the care of patients.
Subclass-Of: Occupational-activity
Mapping: USN does not distinguish between generic hc activities and (formalized) hc procedures. In fact, the Metathesaurus assigns 6787 CUIs to HCA with no assignment to a procedure! This is a good guide to the splitting.
