  <description value="A categorical assessment, providing a rough qualitative interpretation of the observation
   value,    such as “normal”/ “abnormal”,”low” / “high”, “better” / “worse”, “susceptible”
   / “resistant”, “expected”/ “not expected”.    The value set is intended to be for
   ANY use where coded representation of an interpretation is needed.   
   
   Notes:
   
   This is being communicated in v2.x in OBX-8 (Observation Interpretation), in
   v3 in ObservationInterpretation (CWE) in R1 (Representative Realm) and in FHIR
   in    Observation.interpretation. Historically these values come from the laboratory
   domain, and these codes are extensively    used. The value set binding is extensible,
   so codes outside the value set that are needed for interpretation concepts    (i.e.
   particular meanings) that are not included in the value set can be used, and these
   new codes may also be added to    the value set and published in a future version."/>

Usage note: every effort has been made to ensure that the examples are correct and useful, but they are not a normative part of the specification.
