How would you represent "No Information" in a C-CDA section (example here: http://cdasearch.hl7.org/examples/view/4625469228fa0758500a4a62afb17f585412e50b) in C-CDA on FHIR? @Rick Geimer @Brett Marquard I see there is a "Section Empty Reason" but that leads to a 404 page. Are there any examples of an empty section. Would it just be that the instance would contain only the required elements and then Composition.section.emptyReason.code

Hi Gay. In C-CDA on FHIR we made all entries optional since we don't have nullFlavor on Composition.section. Thus all you need to do is create a section, add "No Information" in Section.text and leave the entries blank.
The emptyReason element in Composition.section is a hold over from when we represented entries with a List resource. If you populate it, use this value set:
http://hl7.org/fhir/valueset-list-empty-reason.html
However, I believe SDWG voted at some point to remove that element in the next release of FHIR, so frankly I would just leave it off.
