This value set defines its own terms in the system http://hl7.org/fhir/data-absent-reason
Code | Definition | v3 Map (NullFlavor) |
unknown | The value is not known | =UNK |
asked | The source human does not know the value | =ASKU |
temp | There is reason to expect (from the workflow) that the value may become known | =NAV |
notasked | The workflow didn't lead to this value being known | =NASK |
masked | The information is not available due to security, privacy or related reasons | =MSK |
unsupported | The source system wasn't capable of supporting this element | >NA |
astext | The content of the data is represented in the resource narrative | |
error | Some system or workflow process error means that the information is not available | >NA |

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
Level | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies |
Source | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere) |
Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance) |
Display | The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application |
Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept |
Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
In addition, this page will include mappings to HL7 v2 or HL7 v3 code where these have been defined.
