An observation should not have a value if it represents a multi-question or multi-select “check all that apply” responses.

WarningObservation.dataAbsentReasonElements differ in comments: ''Null' or exceptional values can be represented two ways in FHIR Observations. One way is to simply include them in the value set and represent the exceptions in the value. The alternate way is to use the value element for actual observations and use the explicit dataAbsentReason element to record exceptional values. For a given LOINC question, if the LOINC answer list includes concepts such as 'unknown' or 'not available', they should be used for Observation.value. Where these concepts are not part of the value set for Observation.value, the Observation.dataAbsentReason can be used if necessary and appropriate.' vs 'Null or exceptional values can be represented two ways in FHIR Observations. One way is to simply include them in the value set and represent the exceptions in the value. For example, measurement values for a serology test could be 'detected', 'not detected', 'inconclusive', or 'specimen unsatisfactory'. The alternate way is to use the value element for actual observations and use the explicit dataAbsentReason element to record exceptional values. For example, the dataAbsentReason code 'error' could be used when the measurement was not completed. Note that an observation may only be reported if there are values to report. For example differential cell counts values may be reported only when > 0.

WarningObservation.hasMemberElements differ in comments: 'This grouping element is used to represent surveys, screenings, and assessments that group several questions together or individual questions with “check all that apply” responses. For example in the simplest case a flat multi-question survey where the 'panel' observation is the survey instrument itself and instead of an `Observation.value` the `hasMember` element references other Observation that represent the individual questions answer pairs. When there is a heirarchical grouping of questions, the observation 'panels' can be nested.

    .descriptionThe US Core Observation Screening Assessment Profile meets the requirements of the US Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) Assessments. To promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation, it sets the minimum expectations for the Observation Resource to record, search, and fetch observations representing the questions and responses to surveys and screening and assessment tools. For example, a social history status such as education or food insecurity or an assessment of the patient's cognitive, functional, or disability status. It can represent a single response, multiple responses, and multi-select "check all that apply" type questions. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases.Comorbid condition checklist and optional risk score, using Elixhauser comorbidity categories as defined by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (H-CUP).

The alternate way is to use the value element for actual observations and use the explicit dataAbsentReason element to record exceptional values. For example, the dataAbsentReason code "error" could be used when the measurement was not completed. Note that an observation may only be reported if there are values to report.
