R4B

The extension is unchanged in R4B

R4

The extension is represented a little differently in R4:

• Replace the type CodeableReference with a set of extensions for the content of the type along with the _datatype extension
• Note: Extensions that have been modified for R4 are still draft while real-world experience is collected
