      Initial disposition approved on 2022-03-17. Re-opening/re-approving to move change from Companion Guide (where it was first incorrectly categorized) to C-CDA R2.1, where it actually belongs.

      The current C-CDA design allows systems to 'omit' when they don't have a value.

      Omitting a value is not the same as support for nullFlavor – because nullFlavor allows 'OTH' and other assertions

      Ben has concerns wrt receivers

      Motion made by Brett that this is an errata and that we will remove the the binding at @code, seconded by MattS Motion carries 18/1/1

    Description

      There is an issue with the schematron regarding null interpretation codes. Since this is valid XML, can the schematron be updated to allow for NullFlavor?

       

      The interpretationCode, if present, SHALL contain exactly one [1..1] @code, which SHALL be selected from ValueSet Observation Interpretation (HL7) urn:oid:2.16.840.1.113883.1.11.78 DYNAMIC (CONF:1198-32476).
