Data element: DiagnosticReport.category.specialty (Required binding to ValueSet „Laboratory Specialty")

 
In Germany different approaches for classifying “Specialty” exist. A required binding to “Laboratory Specialties” which are not harmonized across Europe would lead to mappings that might be inaccurate and could cause misunderstanding.

 
We propose to reduce the binding strength of this ValueSet from “required” to “example” binding.
