                   value="This extension SHALL NOT be used when an appropriate higher level concept code exists. When this extension is used on an element with a required binding, the set of possible coded values in the referenced value set SHALL be present in the bound value set. When used with an extensible binding, the set of possible coded values in the referenced value set SHALL be present in the bound value set unless none of the codes in the bound value set apply to the concept being communicated (based on human review). When this extension appears on a CodeableConcept, the CodeableConcept SHALL have no codings, and the text of the CodeableConcept SHALL include the title of the referenced value set."/>
