v3 Code System ObservationInterpretation
One or more codes providing a rough qualitative interpretation of the observation, such as \"normal\" / \"abnormal\", \"low\" / \"high\", \"better\" / \"worse\", \"resistant\" / \"susceptible\", \"expected\" / \"not expected\". The value set is intended to be for ANY use where coded representation of an interpretation is needed.
