      Will make the reference to bodySite an extension to be consistent with Observation and Condition. Not clear that laterality is part of core.

      Existing Wording: choice of "CodeableConcept" or "BodySite" resource reference

      Proposed Wording: structure that includes a 1..1 CodeableConcept for AnatomicalSite and 0..1 laterality qualifier

      Comment:

      The choice is over-complicating the need for "finding site" with a laterality qualifier. To accomplish this we could simply use an inline data element with an optional laterality - for those finding sites where it's relevant.
