static Set |
ALL_VALUES
All values defined by this class.
|
static CS |
ASKU
Information was sought but not found (examples, patient was asked but did
not know)
|
static CS |
DER
An actual value may exist, but it must be derived from the provided
information (usually an EXPR generic data type extension will be used to
convey the derivation expressionexpression.
|
static CS |
INV
The value as represented in the instance is not a member of the set of
permitted data values in the constrained value domain of a variable.
|
static CS |
MSK
There is information on this item available but it has not been provided
by the sender due to security, privacy, or other reasons.
|
static CS |
NA
No proper value is applicable in this context Example, last menstrual
period for a male.
|
static CS |
NASK
This information has not been sought (e.g., patient was not asked)
|
static CS |
NAV
Information is not available at this time but it is expected that it will
be available later.
|
static CS |
NI
No information whatsoever can be inferred from this exceptional value.
|
static CS |
NINF
Negative infinity of numbers.
|
static CS |
NP
Deprecated.
Value is not present in a message. This is only defined in messages, never in application data! All values not present in the message must be replaced by the applicable default, or no-information (NI) as the default of all defaults. |
static CS |
OTH
The actual value is not an element in the value domain of a variable.
|
static CS |
PINF
Positive infinity of numbers.
|
static CS |
QS
The specific quantity is not known, but is known to be non-zero and is
not specified because it makes up the bulk of the material.
|
static CS |
TRC
The content is greater than zero, but too small to be quantified.
|
static CS |
UNC
The actual value has not yet been encoded within the approved value
domain.

static CS |
UNK
A proper value is applicable, but not known.

NullFlavor() |
public static CS NP
Value is not present in a message. This is only defined in messages, never in application data! All values not present in the message must be replaced by the applicable default, or no-information (NI) as the default of all defaults.
public static CS ASKU
Information was sought but not found (examples, patient was asked but did not know)
public static CS OTH
The actual value is not an element in the value domain of a variable. Example, concept not provided by required code system.
public static CS MSK
There is information on this item available but it has not been provided by the sender due to security, privacy, or other reasons. There may be an alternate mechanism for gaining access to this information.
Note: using this null flavor does provide information that may be a breach of confidentiality, even though no detail data is provided. Its primary purpose is for those circumstances where it is necessary to inform the receiver that the information does exist without providing any detail.
public static CS NA
No proper value is applicable in this context Example, last menstrual period for a male.
public static CS NINF
Negative infinity of numbers.
public static CS UNK
A proper value is applicable, but not known.
public static CS PINF
Positive infinity of numbers.
public static CS NAV
Information is not available at this time but it is expected that it will be available later.
public static CS NI
No information whatsoever can be inferred from this exceptional value. This is the most general exceptional value. It is also the default exceptional value.
public static CS NASK
This information has not been sought (e.g., patient was not asked)
public static CS QS
The specific quantity is not known, but is known to be non-zero and is not specified because it makes up the bulk of the material. 'Add 10mg of ingredient X, 50mg of ingredient Y, and sufficient quantity of water to 100mL.' The null flavor would be used to express the quantity of water.
public static CS TRC
The content is greater than zero, but too small to be quantified.
public static CS DER
An actual value may exist, but it must be derived from the provided information (usually an EXPR generic data type extension will be used to convey the derivation expressionexpression.
public static CS INV
The value as represented in the instance is not a member of the set of permitted data values in the constrained value domain of a variable.
public static CS UNC
The actual value has not yet been encoded within the approved value domain.
