    Description

      Looking at the extensions in http://hl7.org/fhir/us/davinci-drug-formulary/2022Jan/StructureDefinition-usdf-FormularyItem.html I can’t tell what these are inteded for.
       
      For instance, usdf-AvailabilityStatus-extension is defined as “Availability Status”, but I don’t know what this means. I suspect that “publications status” might not be the appropriate valueset for formulary item availability, but without a definition it’s hard for me to assess.
