Fields

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
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.

Field Detail

NP

public 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.

ASKU

public static CS ASKU

Information was sought but not found (examples, patient was asked but did not know)

OTH

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.

MSK

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.

NA

public static CS NA

No proper value is applicable in this context Example, last menstrual period for a male.

NINF

public static CS NINF

Negative infinity of numbers.

UNK

public static CS UNK

A proper value is applicable, but not known.

PINF

public static CS PINF

Positive infinity of numbers.

NAV

public static CS NAV

Information is not available at this time but it is expected that it will be available later.

NI

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.

NASK

public static CS NASK

This information has not been sought (e.g., patient was not asked)

QS

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.

TRC

public static CS TRC

The content is greater than zero, but too small to be quantified.

DER

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.

INV

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.

UNC

public static CS UNC

The actual value has not yet been encoded within the approved value domain.

ALL_VALUES

public static final Set ALL_VALUES

All values defined by this class.
