      The attribute of laterality should be specified using the value set only, not using the data model. As all are aware, ICD-10 coding includes increased support for representing laterality. SNOMED should follow if it does not already. Removing this as an attribute will ensure that measure authors address this only through value sets, which is where this data can be found in EHRs.
