Hi Philippe, our analysis in GEHR/openEHR has always been that confidence are null-flavour are two different things: - null / data quality - indicates that some datum was not obtainable - confidence is likelihood of being correct a datum is, in the opinion of the health care professional (or maybe someone else); it can only be set when there is a value - thomas - If you have any questions about using this list, please send a message to d.lloyd at openehr.org
