Description
We have defined a value set for Goal.description - which is good as an example that some goals can be coded.
But the value set has mostly inadequate values - most are (undesirable) clinical findings which is conceptually not the same as a goal. It could be argued (that was my 2nd guess) that the goal.description actually describes the condition you want to remove, but that would be inconsistent with the element definition, and would include a serious ambiguity, by having goals like "non-smoker" and "Disorder of pancreas" without any indication that the goal is presence of the former and absence of the latter.
Suggest having a new extensional value set.
