      Based upon the resolution of FHIR-36942, this only requires that the identified value set be Immutable and have a CLD that only specifies the code system with no version specified. Therefore:

      Change From:

      Definition: Canonical reference to the value set that contains the entire code system

      Comments: The definition of the value set SHALL include all codes from this code system and only codes from this code system, and it SHALL be immutable.

      To:

      Definition: Canonical reference to the value set that contains all codes in the code system independent of code status. 

      Comments: The definition of the value set SHALL include all codes from this code system, independent of concept status, and only codes from this code system.  It SHALL be immutable, and operations SHOULD support validation of any allowed code compositions.

    Description

      We need to provide additional information as to what "entire code system" means in this context.

      Current Definition: "Canonical reference to the value set that contains the entire code system."

      Suggested update: "Canonical reference to the value set that contains the entire code system independent of code status, as defined by the code system owner."

      Current Comment: "The definition of the value set SHALL include all codes from this code system and only codes from this code system, and it SHALL be immutable."

      Suggested update: "The definition of the value set SHALL include all codes, independent of status, from this code system and only codes from this code system, and it SHALL be immutable."
