-
4.2.6. Annotation Reference Set can be used to supplement search results or data entry options with additional textual or coded information, such as advice on intended usage.
- 5.7. Language Reference Set can be used to ensure that the preferred descriptions, for a given dialect, care setting or clinical context, are displayed.
