Code Display Definition Comments
nilknown Nil Known Clinical judgement 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. 		Other language is sometimes used for this concept, such as 'no significant [x] known'.
