The accompanying description of an observation within a report ingested from Health Report Manager, preserved exactly as the source message carried it.
Overview
Present only when the source field was populated, and copied without normalisation, trimming or validation.
Where it also appears in code depends on what else the message carried. With an accompanying
subclass present it is both the display on Observation.code.coding and code.text; without one it
is code.text alone. Preserving it here is what makes it readable without first working out which
of those happened.
Nexus EMR writes this today at
http://services.well.com/fhir/observation/hrm-accompanying-description (FHIR-372): it is live
in stored Observation.extension entries and in code, and is under migration to the canonical
declared here. Write the canonical; expect both until the migration completes.
