Data Quality: Patient ethnicGroupCode data element is nullFlavor

If the Patient FHIR Response has proper values like White/Latin/Hispanic, the value is getting populated correctly in EICR. But in few Scenarios, where the patient has opted not to disclose the information, we are populating with NULLFLAVOR in EICR.

Sample FHIR Response: image

EthnicCode in EICR: image

Can this be modified to send a different code as "Asked but Unknown" or some other valid code instead of NullFlavor in EICR?

Similar can we populate as "Asked but Unknown" for Race Condition where patient has declined expressing his/her race?

Cannot map strings to NullFlavor. Please map the values to https://www.hl7.org/fhir/us/core/ValueSet-omb-ethnicity-category.html The code system should be different than the regular CDC OIDs.
