Used to specify why the normally expected content of the data element is missing
These codes are not currently used
The following codes are defined:
| unknown | The value is not known | |
| asked | The source human does not know the value | |
| temp | There is reason to expect (from the workflow) that the value may become known | |
| notasked | The workflow didn't lead to this value being known | |
| masked | The information is not available due to security, privacy or related reasons | Using masked may be breach of security or confidentiality, but there are times when its use is required to support alternate workflows for gaining access to denied information. |
| unsupported | The source system wasn't capable of supporting this element | |
| astext | The content of the data is represented as text | |
| error | Some system or workflow process error means that the information is not available |
