      <h2> List Empty Reasons</h2> 
      <div> 
        <p> General reasons for a list to be empty. Reasons are either related to a summary list (i.e.
           problem or medication list) or to a workflow related list (i.e. consultation list).</p>

Usage note: every effort has been made to ensure that the examples are correct and useful, but they are not a normative part of the specification.
