      It appears that LDL laboratory test must have 'mg/dL' as the units for the data to be recognized as valid. Client data had MG/DL, which is the same thing.

      What about Gestational Age in weeks. The weeks is not in quotation marks. Will wk, wks, weeks all be accepted with Estimated Gestational Age?
      Birth weight indicates 'g', will grams also be accepted?

      Can valid units be specificed in Value set(s) to make it clear what data will be accepted and which units will not meet the measure logic?
