This value set contains 15 concepts

Level Code System System Code Display Definition
1 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason    unknown icon http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason Unknown The value is expected to exist but is not known.
2 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason      asked-unknown icon http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason Asked But Unknown The source was asked but does not know the value.
2 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason      temp-unknown icon http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason Temporarily Unknown There is reason to expect (from the workflow) that the value may become known.
2 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason      not-asked icon http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason Not Asked The workflow didn't lead to this value being known.
2 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason      asked-declined icon http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason Asked But Declined The source was asked but declined to answer.
1 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason    masked icon http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason Masked The information is not available due to security, privacy or related reasons.
1 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason    not-applicable icon http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason Not Applicable There is no proper value for this element (e.g. last menstrual period for a male).
1 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason    unsupported icon http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason Unsupported The source system wasn't capable of supporting this element.
1 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason    as-text icon http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason As Text The content of the data is represented in the resource narrative.
1 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason    error icon http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason Error Some system or workflow process error means that the information is not available.
2 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason      not-a-number icon http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason Not a Number (NaN) The numeric value is undefined or unrepresentable due to a floating point processing error.
2 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason      negative-infinity icon http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason Negative Infinity (NINF) The numeric value is excessively low and unrepresentable due to a floating point processing error.
2 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason      positive-infinity icon http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason Positive Infinity (PINF) The numeric value is excessively high and unrepresentable due to a floating point processing error.
1 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason    not-performed icon http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason Not Performed The value is not available because the observation procedure (test, etc.) was not performed.
1 http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason    not-permitted icon http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/data-absent-reason Not Permitted The value is not permitted in this context (e.g. due to profiles, or the base data types).

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Lvl A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information
Source The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding ). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
Comments Additional notes about how to use the code
