This page is part of the FHIR Specification (v3.3.0: R4 Ballot 2). The current version which supercedes this version is 5.0.0. For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions . Page versions: R5R4BR4R3R2
This is an internal QA page. The intent of this table is to help
reviewers compare the mappings between the general resource
status codes and the status codes on particular resources.
Note: This page is not proscriptive; it's descriptive and comparative,
to assist with review. The FHIR methodology says that if two domains
use different terms for the same concept (e.g. 'withdrawn' and 'cancelled')
then the domain concept name should be used. Conversely, where there
is no explicit reason for the codes to differ based on domain usage,
they should not.
All status codes must be mapped to one of the general status codes,
which are found in the Resource Status code system.
Note: Bold indicates that the element is marked as a modifier.
