      Add the following sentence at the start of Scope and Usage:

      "DataElement is an infrastructure resource that supports the defining individual pieces of data that might be collected or stored.

      Comment:

      The definition and usage of this resource is impenetrable to me. This seems to be a very broad concept with an unclear relationship to patient data, which I would assume is already modeled in the base FHIR standard.
