Hi Gerard, I don't have a strong opinion on that area, we have too many cases to state MUST rules that might apply just to a subset of cases.
I think a more generic rule is to use term / concept codes that are at the *semantic level* of the archetype node being defined / disambiguated. If a SNOMED CT code is at the same semantic level as a no-leaf node of an archetype, IMO it is OK to bind it to the node. The basic case is the blood pressure, SNOMED has the blood pressure reading code, then specific systolic and diastolic readings. Also, there might be LOINC codes that might apply it those codes are on the same semantic level as archetype nodes. If are too generic or too specific, might not at the right definition / disambiguation. Not sure if this is correct or not, it just feels right.
