      <comment value="Scores are commonly encountered in various clinical assessment scales. Assigning a value
       to a concept should generally be done in a formal code system that defines the value,
       or in an applicable value set for the concept, but some concepts do not have a formal
       definition (or are not even represented as a concept formally, especially in [Questionnaires](questi
      onnaire.html), 
so this extension is allowed to appear ouside those preferred contexts.  Scores may even
       be assigned arbitrarily during use (hence, on Coding). The value may be constrained to
       an integer in some contexts of use. Todo: Scoring algorithms may also be defined directly,
       but how this is done is not yet defined."/>
