The alternate way is to use the value element for actual observations and use the explicit dataAbsentReason element to record exceptional values. For example, the dataAbsentReason code 'error' could be used when the measurement was not completed. Note that an observation may only be reported if there are values to report.

| description | This profile represents a person’s care preferences during their care and treatment. Examples include, but are not limited to religious preferences, dislikes and fears, and thoughts and feelings to be shared. To promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation, this profile sets minimum expectations for the Observation resource to record, search, and fetch for a patient's care experience preferences. This profile identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource and constrains the way the elements are used when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases. | An exchange of post-acute care observation for a patient. This profile is used for exchanging an observation for a single question generally included in a structured resource (e.g., assessment tool, instrument, or screen). |
