Description
There is next to no documentation in the IG for this extension, making it very difficult to evaluate its efficacy and appropriate usage.
The NDH Associated Servers extension appears redundant, and changes the entire point of the Endpoint resource, which is characterizing the capabilities of a single URL. All of the types of servers in the Associated Servers Type Value Set should be represented by their own Endpoint resource, and any connection they have to each other should be represented by the relationships between these Endpoints and Organizations, OrganizationAffiliations, etc.
If there were a use case defined, we might be able to see if there's something that couldn't be represented in the normal way, and even if that were true we'd need to explain how it all fits together: whether those servers are also documented as their own Endpoints or not, etc.
