                 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

                 performed in a context where a concept designated as 'abstract' is appropriate/allowed
                 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>

     where code selection is constrained to the set of codes that were available when the patient

    <documentation value="If this parameter has a value of true, the client is stating that the validation is being
     performed in a context where a concept designated as 'abstract' is appropriate/allowed
     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."/>
