<!-- an interpretation offered to the combination observation
generally, it would only be appropriate to offer an interpretation
of an observation that has no value if it has "COMP" (component)
observations -->
<!-- The BodySite can be captured in a LOINC code but am showing it here to demonstrate populating
the element -->
<!--
Observations are often coded in multiple code systems.
- LOINC provides a very specific code (though not more specific in this particular
case)
- snomed provides a clinically relevant code that is usually less granular
than LOINC
- the source system provides its own code, which may be less or more granular
than LOINC
