      See resolution to #5171 about the use of "entered in error".

      ?However, we need to define when "entered in error" needs to exist and when it is sufficient/appropriate to simply "delete" the record. ?Will consult with the work groups using "entered in error" to determine what their rationales for it is and, once a common pattern is identified, will propagate that pattern on for other resources to follow. ?Will also add guidance in the specification that explains the difference between "deleting" and flagging something as "entered in error" that resources using "entered in error" can point to. ?Also need to provide very clear explanation of what "entered in error" means. ?I.e. "This fact about the patient/subject was never true. ?E.g. wrong patient in the record, etc."

      Some resources have nullifiers and some do not, and there is no rationale why some do and some don't. For example, an Observation can be "entered in error" but a MedicationStatement cannot, a MedicationPrescription can, but a Immunization cannot, and so on. Either all resources should allow for a nullifying attribute, or none should. If the former, there should be a standard attribute to indicate nullification of the resource. The existence of a standard nullification element across all resources will greatly simplify search and processing. This is just one more example of the willy-nilly nature of resource definitions.

      Grahame's Comments
      Presently, committees add these if they make sense in the domain. For many resources, a concept like this doesn't make sense. And so I would be against adding this to every resource. It would make some things more complicated. But perhaps, if we have a list of ones where this does apply, then we could look for patterns; it would be possible to define another abstract "nullifiable' resource, for instance. The details would should whether this is a good idea or not
