      <p>This value sets refers to 3 different sources of observation method codes, each with issues:</p>
      
      <ul>
        
        <li>SNOMED CT Techniques (descendants of 272394005): As for August 2015, this is relatively
           complete (e.g. includes all LOINC methods). However this includes more than just observation
           methods, and is subject to the normal SNOMED CT licensing rules</li>
        
        <li>v3 Code System &quot;ObservationMethod&quot;: this is very incomplete and not currently
           maintained</li>
      
      </ul>
