    Description

      Section 2.2.0.4.6 states

      "On the other hand, if any sub-element is marked as Must Support and the parent element is not, there is no expectation that you must support the parent. However, if the parent element is represented in the structure, you must support the sub-element (s) marked as Must Support. There are no examples of US Core profiles that have this structure defined."

      While there is an example in US Core: Patient.telcome (see attachment). Patient.telcome is not MS but Patient.telcom.system, Patient.telcome.value, and Patient.telcome.use are MS.
