Notes:
OPERATION STATUSES should be used once for each record to record states of knowledge regarding the operative procedure.

1	One or more operative procedure carried out
8	Not applicable i.e. no operative procedures performed or intended
9	Not known i.e. finished episode/out-patient attendance but no data entered or the episode is unfinished and no data needs to be present. This would be a validation error only for a finished episode

Use in the Future Outpatient CDS:
If it is not intended to perform a procedure at the future attendance, use value 8. Otherwise this data element should be omitted.
