Existing Wording: Observation.dataAbsentReason - "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 "test
not done". 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. Because of these options,
use-case agreements are required to interpret general observations for
exceptional values.
Comment:
test not done was reported as part of the status in V2. Would make sense to stay with that both for continuity and because it is NOT really an answer
