FHIR Chat · LOINC Data Elements

With Grahame's permission, I've pre-applied an unapproved change that ressurrects (and adjusts) text describing how to represent LOINC as data elements. This is needed when pointing to LOINC codes as "definitions" for questions in questionnaires. The text was present in STU3 but got removed - presumably because the DataElement resource was removed. I've brought the text back but updated it to refer to StructureDefinition logical models - which are the replacements for DataElement. Can terminology please look at GF#19670 and see if they're comfortable with the change? The new text can be seen here: http://build.fhir.org/loinc.html#dataelements and the original text can be seen here: http://hl7.org/fhir/loinc.html#dataelements

Yes, we can do that. We noted that the text had been removed with DataElement when we discussed it last week during Dev Days (I'm not recalling the specific context of that at the moment). The problem that I see, though, is that I'm sure we won't be having the normally scheduled Vocab call on Thursday this week due to the US Thanksgiving holiday, plus we aren't having the FHIR Tracker Issues calls today and for the next two weeks due to conflicts with my travel back from Dev Days today and for the IPS meeting. So the next scheduled Vocab WG call will be on Dec. 6. I don't know if we can make that work. And if not, we would need to schedule a special call, or an e-vote (which we haven't actually done before in Vocab as I recall)?
