http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/list-empty-reason    nilknown icon Nil Known Clinical judgment that there are no known items for this list after reasonable investigation. Note that this a positive statement by a clinical user, and not a default position asserted by a computer system in the lack of other information. Example uses: * For allergies: the patient or patient's agent/guardian has asserted that he/she is not aware of any allergies (NKA - nil known allergies) * For medications: the patient or patient's agent/guardian has asserted that the patient is known to be taking no medications * For diagnoses, problems and procedures: the patient or patient's agent/guardian has asserted that there is no known event to record.

Note that it should not be assumed that this means that the particular information in question was withheld due to its contents - it can also be a policy decision.

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
