Zero F value is the consequence of insufficient representation of a particular PHI type in that particular note category (eg, if there was one Location PHI element in 20 notes and it was missed then the F value was zero).

DC, discharge; ED, emergency department; H&P, history and physical; OR, operating room; PHI, protected health information.
