# description
 A code that provides additional detail about the means or technique used to ascertain the observation.  Examples:
Blood pressure measurement method: arterial puncture vs. sphygmomanometer (Riva-Rocci), sitting vs. supine position, etc.  OpenIssue:
Description copied from Concept Domain of same name.  Must be verified.  Note that the Domain has a full discussion about use of the attribute and constraining that is not appropriate for the code system description.  Needs to be improved.
