Storing codes with an extra field to indicate which code family or
system it came from makes it much easier to import medical records
from elsewhere in good order.
It is an approach we thought well of toward the end of last century.
I think it is pretty much unused, possibly due to copyright
contentions by coding system suppliers.
It seems clearly to me the correct way to go.
