| Name | PreferredTerminologyServer |
| Title | Preferred Terminology Server |
| Realm | uv |
| Authority | hl7 |
| Description | Use the new generic http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/preferredTerminologyServer instead |
| Purpose | Not all terminology servers will necessarily have access to the codes. If a questionnaire points to value sets, the rendering engine needs to know where to get a current expansion. |
| Type | Extension |
| Kind | complex-type |
