This subtype of Code adds a numerical value, which could be either a score for codes used to capture potential answers on an assessment instrument, or might be used to provide functionality for "coded ordinals", which assigns a value to a concept. In either case, this value is pre-defined in the coding system, and therefore could be looked up in the coding system. Therefore, this datatype may be removed in the future, as it really isn't necessary, but may be useful in implementations which may wish to avoid a separate call to a terminology server. (Note that this datatype was renamed from CodedOrdinal to CodeWithValue to combine the LoincAnswerCode and CodedOrdinal subtypes on 10/15/2015).

"Coded data, where the coding system from which the code comes defines a partial or complete order on some or all of the codes in the system. Codes may be assigned a numerical value, but this is not required. [This datatype] adds semantics related to ordering and/or numerical values...." - HL7 V3.
