    Description

      It is very common for people to receive datasets consisting of SNOMED DescriptionIds rather than ConceptIds.

      Rightly, SNOMED descriptionIds are not considered to be as valid codes for a Concept, however they are identifiers for an associated designation.

      By broadening the context of the extension http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/coding-sctdescid to include CodeSystem.concept.designation (it is currently limited to Coding) use-cases like the one above would be supported.
