  This is a common pattern in healthcare - a concept that may be defined by one or more
   codes from formal definitions including LOINC and SNOMED CT, and/or defined by the provision
   of text that captures a human sense of the concept.
  
  
    
    
    
  
  
    
    
    
  
  
    
    
    
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
    
      
      
      A concept that may be defined by a formal reference to a terminology or ontology or may
       be provided by text.
      Not all terminology uses fit this general pattern. In some cases, models should not use
       CodeableConcept and use Coding directly and provide their own structure for managing text,
       codings, translations and the relationship between elements and pre- and post-coordination.
