                 need to validate that a correct code was used at some point in the past. A typical
                 example of this would be where code selection is constrained to the set of codes
                 that were available when the patient was treated, not when the record is being

                 is being performed in a context where a concept designated as 'abstract' is appropriate/allow
                ed to be used, and the server should regard abstract codes as valid. If this parameter
                 is false, abstract codes are not considered to be valid.</p> 

              <p> Note that. 'abstract' is a property defined by many HL7 code systems that indicates
                 that the concept is a logical grouping concept that is not intended to be used
                 asa 'concrete' concept to in an actual patient/care/process record. This language
                 is borrowed from Object Orienated theory where 'asbtract' objects are never instantiated.
                 However in the general record and terminology eco-system, there are many contexts
                 where it is appropraite to use these codes e.g. as decision making criterion, or
                 when editing value sets themselves. This parameter allows a client to indicate
                 to the server that it is working in such a context.</p>

     need to validate that a correct code was used at some point in the past. A typical
     example of this would be where code selection is constrained to the set of codes
     that were available when the patient was treated, not when the record is being
     edited. Note that which date is appropriate is a matter for implementation policy."/>

     is being performed in a context where a concept designated as 'abstract' is appropriate/allow
    ed to be used, and the server should regard abstract codes as valid. If this parameter
     is false, abstract codes are not considered to be valid.

Note that. 'abstract' is a property defined by many HL7 code systems that indicates
     that the concept is a logical grouping concept that is not intended to be used
     asa 'concrete' concept to in an actual patient/care/process record. This language
     is borrowed from Object Orienated theory where 'asbtract' objects are never instantiated.
     However in the general record and terminology eco-system, there are many contexts
     where it is appropraite to use these codes e.g. as decision making criterion, or
     when editing value sets themselves. This parameter allows a client to indicate
     to the server that it is working in such a context."/>
