In Diagnosticreport-example.json, in the snippet

  "category": {
    "coding": [
      {
        "system": "http://hl7.org/fhir/v2/0074",
        "code": "HM"
      }
    ]
  },

shouldn't the value of system be updated to http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/diagnostic-service-sections?

@Gaston Fiore In general, value set URLs should never appear in Coding.system

Some background at http://hl7-fhir.github.io/valueset.html#context

Josh Mandel (Apr 27 2016 at 18:19):

But basically: if you read http://hl7.org/fhir/valueset-diagnostic-service-sections.html you'll see that this value set says:

Include all codes defined in http://hl7.org/fhir/v2/0074

And the codes themselves are free-standing. They can be communicated outside the context of any particular value set.

I see, thanks. I'll make sure I read about value sets.
