Care flow elements help you construct a clear picture of where you are in the lifespan of a care flow
Where care flow activities represent every granular activity related to the operation or orchestration of a care flow, Elements are the building blocks of a care flow represented by their logical (e.g. this step belongs to a parent track) and chronological (e.g. this step's completion date depends on when all its child actions are completed) dependencies.
Elements allow us to reflect a care flow's overall shape. This means we can generate a clear picture of not just when we are (as with activities), but where we are in the lifespan of an orchestrated care flow. This makes them perfect for constructing Gantt or Timeline-style views that give users high-level or granular views of a patient's progress through a care flow.
A care flow consists of the following types of elements:
There is hierarchy to elements. An action's parent is a Step. A Step's parent is a Track. A Track's parent is a Care Flow. In other words, Care Flow -> Track -> Step -> Action. Care flows, being the largest unit of care flow definition themselves, do not have parents.
