      Update the Procedure.reason comments to be:

      Use Procedure.reason.concept when a code sufficiently describes the reason. Use Procedure.reason.reference when referencing a resource, which allows more information to be conveyed, such as onset date.  For a single Procedure.reason, if both Procedure.reason.concept and Procedure.reason.reference are present, they are expected to be consistent with each other.

    Description

      According to the data type, if both concept and reference are present they must be consistent - i.e. they must be describing the same thing.

      Existing Wording:

      Both Procedure.reason.concept and Procedure.reason.reference can be used if they are describing different reasons for the procedure.
