Description
When documenting signs/symptoms it is unclear which of the preferred categories should be used. It seems that "exam" is reasonable, but too broad. Rather a more specific category would be appropriate in light of the other values.
This code system/value set is very much subject to implementers local requirements to categorize observations for enhance organization and access, but this concept seems reasonable seems to be appropriate to recognize in the core specification, or clarify that "exam" encompasses signs/symptoms.
