      Simply use the "system" from the Coding as the system for the identifier. Identifier.value takes on the value from Coding.code. However, it's up to Regenstrief to decide that they want to use the same id when they publish their content as DataElements - the specification shouldn't include documentation that makes that assumption.

      Comment:

      thought we were going to allow this identifier to be a code- or at least LOINC. otherwise how to build a questionairre with LOINC codes?? (which happens now, such as in the NPRM for vital signs), but not through a formal mechanism.
