      Change "LOINC codes are required because Gravity intends to use only LOINC encoded Questionnaires to generate QuestionnaireResponses which, in turn, will generate Screening Response Observations."  to "Gravity implementation guides are restricting the survey observations to LOINC to move the industry to the use of LOINC panels / surveys (structures that are not available in other terminology systems) to standardize the coding of SDOH related risk assessment instruments. In addition, USCDI and US Core have standardized on the use of LOINC to represent Observations in general."

    Description

      This effectively says "the reason LOINC is required is because Gravity decided to require LOINC". What developers really care about is "Why did Gravity require LOINC?" (One possible answer would be "because US Core uses LOINC for all of their profiles and we want to be consistent". Another might be "because LOINC covers most of what we want and has agreed to add concepts to cover the rest"

      Existing Wording:

      LOINC codes are required because Gravity intends to use only LOINC encoded Questionnaires to generate QuestionnaireResponses which, in turn, will generate Screening Response Observations.
