      We will NOT version the template.

      Will update in all places where we have this block of codeSystems.

      Will update language so all CodeSystems are a SHOULD:

      1. This @code SHOULD be selected from LOINC (CodeSystem: 2.16.840.1.113883.6.1) or SNOMED CT (CodeSystem: 2.16.840.1.113883.6.96) or CPT (CodeSystem: 2.16.840.1.113883.6.12) or ICD-10-PCS (CodeSystem: 2.16.840.1.113883.6.4) or HCPCS (Code System: 2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1247.9) or CDT-2 (Code System: 2.16.840.1.113883.6.13) (CONF:4515-19207).

    Description

      Appendix A cites this several times (first on page 149):

      This @code SHOULD be selected from LOINC (CodeSystem: 2.16.840.1.113883.6.1) or SNOMED CT (CodeSystem: 2.16.840.1.113883.6.96), and MAY be selected from CPT (CodeSystem: 2.16.840.1.113883.6.12) or ICD-10-PCS (CodeSystem: 2.16.840.1.113883.6.4) or HCPCS (Code System: 2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1247.9) or CDT-2 (Code System: 2.16.840.1.113883.6.13) (CONF:4515-19207).

      Can you explain why LOINC and SNOMED are SHOULDs and CPT is a MAY? We would suggest for CPT to be a SHOULD where applicable.
