French term or phrase: acte (médicale)
Hello,

How can I translate "acte" in the below medical context?

A l’HAP, le personnel soignant doit s’assurer avant tout acte qu’il a affaire au bon patient, par exemple que la bonne intervention va être pratiquée, du bon côté.

AND

Quant à la compétence d’un praticien, on ne saurait la définir uniquement par la fréquence des actes qu’il réalise : si on liait la compétence médicale à un nombre d’actes minimum, on risquerait de dériver vers une chirurgie abusive.

Thanks in advance!
