# Observations are often coded in multiple code systems.
# - LOINC provides codes of varying granularity (though not usefully more specific in this particular case) and more generic LOINCs can be mapped to more specific codes as shown here
# - snomed provides a clinically relevant code that is usually less granular than LOINC
# - the source system provides its own code, which may be less or more granular than LOINC

# is always preferred, but it doesn't provide notional units (such as
# "tablet"), etc. For these, something else is required (e.g. SNOMED CT)
