Existing Wording: human written narrative may be the only content if the list has no entries (which would equate to a narrative only section in a document).
Proposed Wording: human written narrative may be the only content if the list has no entries (which would equate to a narrative only section in a document). However, the content should still be regarded by humans as a list, e.g., a manually entered list of past procedures without structured entries. But narrative that is not a "list" at all, such as a Chief Complaint, should not use the List resource.
Comment:
It is legitimate to have narrative-only section, but it does not make sense to call it a "List." A list should be a set of things of the same or similar character, e.g., a med list, a problem list, a result list that might in narrative be represented as bullets, enumerated, or a table. Narrative that is "paragraphs" or not a set of entries – e.g., Hospital Course, Chief Complaint – does not fit the definition of a list. The suggested wording tries to clarify.
