Animal Health Treatments

[cookeac]

The Integrity Systems (Australia) group of companies worked out a good set of messages for animal health diagnosis, treatment plan, and treatment events based on Jon Massey's Bristol University specification, plus feedback from ICAR ADE members and their own experiences.
I will document this under this Issue and organise a pull request when we are happy.

The original work on animal health treatments within the ICAR ADE framework was undertaken by Jon G Massey from Bristol University and can be found here: https://github.com/biospi/UKVetMedicinesDataStandards

Subsequently, a group of Australian livestock companies reviewed these and other specifications as part of the Integrity Systems animal schema project https://github.com/integritysystemscompany/animal_schema.

This produced three event resource entities and a medicine type.

Resource/Type	Description	Extends
iscDiagnosisEventResource.json	Diagnosis of an animal's health issue.	icarEventCoreResource
iscTreatmentEventResource.json	Treatment of an animal with medicine and/or a procedure.	icarEventCoreResource
iscTreatmentProgrammeEventResource.json	Describes a course of treatments for one or more diagnoses.	icarEventCoreResource
iscMedicineReferenceType	Describes a medicine and will allow it to point to a future medicine resource.	-

I propose that these resources and their corresponding types be changed to prefix with icar instead of isc, and be moved into ADE version 1.1.

In the discussion today we came across events that might happen during a treatment. Specifically in Canada, keeping records of broken needles is required.

IMHO, we could add a comment field (however, bad for finding specific events) or add a list/set of events that happend, e.g. also with a type = "broken needle" or similar.

Could it be interpreted as a diagnosis event linked to that treatment?
