- **Feature Requests**: Suggest new profiles, extensions, or terminology
- **Documentation**: Help improve documentation or fix typos

### 2. Submit Pull Requests
- **New Profiles**: Add FHIR profiles for nursing assessments
- **Terminology**: Expand ValueSets and CodeSystems
- **Examples**: Add example instances for testing

### 3. Clinical Review
- **Validate clinical accuracy** of nursing concepts
- **Review LOINC/SNOMED code selections**
- **Suggest improvements** based on nursing practice
