    Description

      Consider binding Procedure.focalDevice.action (CodeableConcept) to codes from an external coding system, such as SNOMED.

      Per QA 4a: Coded values should draw from external code systems as much as possible. If defining a CodeableConcept, FHIR-specific codes must only be used when no external code systems apply (and should be verified for 80% if this occurs).
