      Social History often collects employment (+education) data, which makes the boundaries unclear of when we should use Observation vs OccupationalData. Please update Observation's boundaries accordingly. (related tracker to update OccupationalData boundaries as well: GF#14465)

      Examples:

      Observation.code = School/Employment Status
      Observation.value = Employed | Retired | Unemployed | Part time | Student

      Observation.code = Work hazards
      Observation.value = Vibration | Hazardous materials | Heavy lifting/twisting | Loud noises | Medical/Clinical work | Repetitive motion | Shift/Night work

      Observation.code = Hazardous equipment operation
      Observation.value = Yes | No

      Observation.code = Activity level work
      Observation.value = Desk/Office | Heavy physical work | Moderate physical work | Occasional physical work

      Observation.code = Military service
      Observation.value = Yes | No

      Observation.code = Branch of military
      Observation.value = Army | Navy | Airforce | U.S. Coast Guard | Marine Corps

      Observation.code = Current military status
      Observation.value = Active duty | Reserves | Veteran

      Observation.code = Military discharge
      Observation.value = Honorable | Dishonorable | Medical
