Topic: Null code

Procedure.code documentation says " null; The codes SHALL be taken from ProcedureStatus"
Does this mean that it is nullalble?

Eric Haas (Feb 27 2018 at 16:14):

Where is it exactly, I can't seem to locate it? In any case that is most probably an artifact from the generated text - there is probably an undefined variable somewhere.

the valueset name is missing. - Will log a issue on Git thanks

Why are you drawing from ProcedureStatus for Procedure.code?

Eric Haas (Feb 27 2018 at 17:45):

Procedure.status
Definition
A code specifying the state of the procedure. Generally this will be in-progress or completed state.

Control 1..1
Binding null
The codes SHALL be taken from ProcedureStatus
Type code
Is Modifier true

Eric Haas (Feb 27 2018 at 17:45):

Is about state

Jay Lyle (Feb 27 2018 at 18:55):

@Lloyd McKenzie : sorry; meant status, not code.

Jay Lyle (Feb 27 2018 at 18:55):

@Eric Haas : to clarify: does that "null" mean that the element is nullable?

Eric Haas (Feb 27 2018 at 21:42):

no is a rendering error not related to the binding or valueset

Jay Lyle (Feb 27 2018 at 22:29):

Thanks. So if we want to provide procedure data, any record that doesn't have data that confirms completion (or lack thereof) should not be provided, right?
