# HealthCareProcedure

Represents information related to industry-standard healthcare procedure codes. Before the Spring ’21 release, the Healthcare Procedure and Healthcare Diagnosis objects stored codes specifically related to procedures and diagnoses. These codes were used for prior-authorization requests and approval processes. Since the Spring’21 release, Health Cloud uses the Code Set and Code Set Bundle objects for this purpose instead.

## Example

The Code Set and Code Set Bundle objects improve on the old objects by adding support for terminology system information. This added support comes in the form of the Source System and Version fields.

![Note](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.object_reference.meta/object_reference/images/icon_note.png)

#### Note

Objects, flows, and apps that previously used Healthcare Diagnosis and Healthcare Procedure have been or will be extended to support the use of Code Set and Code Set Bundle. Healthcare Diagnosis and Healthcare Procedure are to be gradually phased out with future releases.
