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.

| Warning | Observation.hasMember | Elements differ in comments: 'This grouping element is used to represent surveys 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. In a survey that has a heirarchical grouping of questions, the observation 'panels' can be nested. Because surveys can be arbitrarily complex structurally, not all survey structures can be represented using this Observation grouping pattern.' vs 'When using this element, an observation will typically have either a value or a set of related resources, although both may be present in some cases.

| description | To promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation, the US Core Observation Survey Profile sets minimum expectations for the Observation Resource to record, search, and fetch retrieve observations that represent the questions and responses to form/survey and assessment tools. It can be used to represent individual responses, panels of multi-question surveys, and multi-select responses to “check all that apply” 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 uses cases. | Decedent Education Level (Observation) |
