Description
There are no diagnosis codes that would not fall under the broad banner of "clinical finding" or "event", which means that there is no circumstance where the defined value set would not contain a code that covers the concept. I.e. No 'extension' code will ever be legal. As such, labeling this as extensible is misleading to implementers. To be compliant, implementers will always have to send one of the codes from this list (though they're free to send other codes too).
