The category a clinical task is filed under, used to organize tasks into bins in a user's view. R4's open "Task Type" axis, given a controlled vocabulary that is expected to grow. These codes classify for presentation only: they do not say whether a task carries a suggested resource (that is a contained Bundle), whether it is a proposal or an order (Task.intent), or what produced it (Task.requester). Bound extensibly from NexusEmrCoreClinicalTask.code.

MIGRATION. Nexus EMR writes these codes today under http://well.company/task-code, a system this specification does not publish. It is live in stored Task.code codings and in code, and is under migration to ../CodeSystem/nexus-task-code (FHIR-373). Write the canonical system; expect both until the migration completes.

other Other Work that fits no category above. A real answer rather than an absent one: it says somebody looked and none applied, which an absent Task.code does not.
