Given BMI observations using the local flowsheet terminology, associating them 
with the corresponding LOINC terms by duplicating each observation_fact row is

already. I have no interest in doubling or tripling the size of it, when the 
same effect can be achieved by mapping the local concept_cd's to the different 
terminologies using metadata.

For those observations which are mappable to a LOINC code the observation fact 
would look like this ...
