Script to update code displays
Requested Feature
Given the recent change to tx.fhir.org that a code display not matching is now an error instead of a warning (ref: https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/179294-committers.2Fannounce/topic/Coding.2Edisplay.20change/near/357558577 ), we should try to better keep up with changes to terminology, so that someone validating a Synthea patient doesn't get inundated with errors. Right now this is a painfully manual process of running some sample patients through the validator and seeing what errors we get. We should create a script or some other mechanism that will:
- scan all codes used in the modules
- check the display text against the preferred text for the code system
- either update the module directly if it doesn't match, or provide a list of necessary changes that a user can apply
