      Revised reslution (change name) from adding *sustainable *boolean 0..1 to *continuous *boolean 0..1.

      Definition: After meeting the goal, ongoing activity is needed to sustain the goal objective.

      For example, getting a yellow fever vaccination for a planned trip is a goal that is designed to be completed (*continuous *= false). A goal to sustain HbA1c levels would not be a one-time goal (*continuous *= true).

      Goal.status value set has codes for:
      Sustaining = The goal has been met, but ongoing activity is needed to sustain the goal objective.
      Achieved = The goal has been met and no further action is needed.

      However, we are missing an element to convey (before the goal is met) whether the goal is a one time goal (after met, status is achieved) versus an on-going goal (after met, status is achieved). This is needed so a system can programmatically know which status (achieved or sustaining) is appropriate upon finding an Observation showing the goal is met.

      Examples:
      * Goals to get an immunization and/or complete training might be a one-time goal (when met, it is achieved)
      * Goals to maintain HbA1c levels or blood pressure or weight might be an on-going goal (when met, still need to sustain)
