    Description

      The guidance around how to handle missing data does not include Coding datatype elements (encounter.class).  Request the guidance be updated to include Coding datatypes.

       

      For coded data elements:

      • example, preferred, or extensible binding strengths (CodeableConcept and Coding datatypes):
        • if the source systems has text but no coded data, only the text element is used.
        • if there is neither text or coded data:
          • use the appropriate “unknown” concept code from the value set if available
          • if the value set does not have the appropriate “unknown” concept code, use unknown from the DataAbsentReason Code System.
