  <description
               value="Document type codes for clinical precision in document identification.

This ValueSet contains LOINC codes for specific document types used in
DocumentReference.type. Unlike category (coarse search), type provides
clinical precision for identifying exact document kinds.

**Usage Pattern**:
- type is primarily used for client-side filtering after a broad category search
- type MAY be used as a search parameter when the specific document type is known
- Multiple type codes may apply to a single document (e.g., a discharge summary
  that is also a patient summary)

**MVP Document Types** (Priority Categories):
- Patient Summary (IPS)
- Discharge Summary (HDR)
- Laboratory Report
- Diagnostic Imaging Report

Note: This list will expand as additional priority categories are implemented.

JFM: This ValueSet should be made up of other ValueSets, with each of them assigned to one of the priority categories. Thus it is clear what document types are within each category. Is this the place to find all of them? https://confluence.hl7.org/spaces/HEU/pages/358255737/Implementation+Guides"/>
