Summary of actions taken to minimize data loss. Includes information on actions such as follow-up visits, supervisory checks, historical matching, estimation, etc. This element contains the sub-element "concept" to support the use of an external controlled vocabulary. PLEASE NOTE A CHANGE IN USAGE INSTRUCTIONS: The string content of "concept" now contains the language specific label obtained from the controlled vocabulary. This allows for multiple languages through the repeated entry of the "concept" element. The attribute "vocabInstanceCodeTerm" has been added to accommodate the code term as it appears in the controlled vocabulary. See the high level documentation for a complete description of usage. Additional textual description is entered in the mixed text content or using the sub-element "txt".
