2015May core #209 - 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

      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.
