A few observations (e.g. Apgar score) may have both a value and related observations (for        an Apgar score, the observations from which the measure is derived). If a value is present,        the datatype for this element should be determined by Observation.code.

If the data element is usually coded or if the type associated with the Observation.value        defines a coded value, use CodeableConcept instead of string datatype even if the value        is uncoded text.

One way is to simply include them in the value set and represent the exceptions in the        value.  For example, measurement values for a serology test could be  \"detected\",        \"not detected\", \"inconclusive\", or  \"test not done\".   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.
