Code	Display	Definition
registered	Registered	The existence of the observation is registered, but there is no result yet available.
preliminary	Preliminary	This is an initial or interim observation: data may be incomplete or unverified.
final	Final	The observation is complete.
amended	Amended	The observation has been modified subsequent to being Final.
cancelled	cancelled	The observation is unavailable because the measurement was not started or not completed (also sometimes called "aborted").
entered-in-error	Entered in Error	The observation has been withdrawn following previous final release.
unknown	Unknown Status	The observation status is unknown. Note that "unknown" is a value of last resort and every attempt should be made to provide a meaningful value other than "unknown".

Level

A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies

Source

The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)

Code

The code (used as the code in the resource instance)

Display

The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
