      The existing valueset (from v3) that is bound to patient.maritalStatus already has these concepts.

      U http://hl7.org/fhir/v3/MaritalStatus unmarried Currently not in a marriage contract.

      UKN http://hl7.org/fhir/v3/NullFlavor unknown A proper value is applicable, but not known.

      S http://hl7.org/fhir/v3/MaritalStatus Never Married No marriage contract has ever been entered

      Note: From your comments below asking for "S" to be "is not presently married" is already covered by the similar unmarried concept.

      If you are present at the May WGM in Cologne, we would be happy to discuss this further if you desire, or on a future conference call.

      Note: There was another issue which is to be resolved where an incorrect version of the code system was linked from the ballot overview page - please check the real valueset contents here: http://hl7.org/fhir/2018May/valueset-marital-status.html

      Existing Wording: Code = U

      Display = Unmarried

      Definition = The person is not presently married. The marital history is not known or stated.

      Proposed Wording: Code = U

      Display = Unknown

      Definition = The person is not presently married. The marital history is not known or stated.

      Code = S

      Display = Single

      Definition = The person is not presently married.

      Comment:

      Not being married and the fact that person's marital status is unknown are two different concepts and should be represented by two different codes.

      Summary:

      Split Marital Status code = 'U' into two codes
