Properties

This code system defines the following properties for its concepts

Name | Code | URI | Type | Description
Status | status | http://hl7.org/fhir/concept-properties#status | code | Designation of a concept's state. Normally is not populated unless the state is retired..
howApplies | howApplies | http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/utg-concept-properties#v3-how-applies | string | Haven't a clue!
Not Selectable | notSelectable | http://hl7.org/fhir/concept-properties#notSelectable | boolean | Indicates that the code is abstract - only intended to be used as a selector for other concepts

# 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.
