A logical reference (i.e. a reference to ValueSet.url) to a value set/version that identifies a set of possible coded values used to convey a higher level concept that encompasses a list of candidate specializations when there is no formal code defined for that purpose. For example, the concept of COVID preventative medications can be expressed as a value set because there is no specific code representing that concept.
This extension supports specifying the focus of an activity as a set of possible codes when there is no specific code available that captures the candidate activities.

Summary
Simple Extension with the type canonical: A logical reference (i.e. a reference to ValueSet.url) to a value set/version that identifies a set of possible coded values used to convey a higher level concept that encompasses a list of candidate specializations when there is no formal code defined for that purpose. For example, the concept of COVID preventative medications can be expressed as a value set because there is no specific code representing that concept.
