All codes from system http://hl7.org/fhir/data-absent-reason

Lvl	Code	Display	Definition
0	unknown	Unknown	The value is not known.
0	asked	Asked	The source human does not know the value.
0	temp	Temp	There is reason to expect (from the workflow) that the value may become known.
0	not-asked	Not Asked	The workflow didn't lead to this value being known.
0	masked	Masked	The information is not available due to security, privacy or related reasons.
0	unsupported	Unsupported	The source system wasn't capable of supporting this element.
0	astext	As Text	The content of the data is represented in the resource narrative.
0	error	Error	Some system or workflow process error means that the information is not available.
1	NaN	Not a Number	NaN, standing for not a number, is a numeric data type value representing an undefined or unrepresentable value.
0	not-performed	Not Performed	The value is not available because the observation procedure (test, etc.) was not performed.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Lvl

A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organise codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information

Source

The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)

Code

The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')

Display

The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application

Definition

An explanation of the meaning of the concept
