    Description

      The facilityType and praticeSetting fields are a very specific on a very generic resource. The use of these fields is not immediately apparent.

      The description suggests content that overlaps with information provided in category, context and author.

      If only used in specific use cases, an extension might be a better approach. If this information falls within the 80% usage, I suggest to generalize the description and provide additional documentation on their intended use.
