Description
The normative valueset of the admin gender in Patient is really a big headache for implementers due to the current business requirements of the expansion of the code values.
After looking through the whole valueset chain, the codesystem might be the weaker link with less impact to break. Please consider relaxing the code system of

Therefore, the implementer could just add in new values in the CodeSystem to expand the AdminGender Valueset.
