CodeDisplayDefinition
active ActiveThe prescription is 'actionable', but not all actions that are implied by it have occurred yet.
on-hold On HoldActions implied by the prescription are to be temporarily halted, but are expected to continue later. May also be called "suspended".
cancelled CancelledThe prescription has been withdrawn before any administrations have occurred.
completed CompletedAll actions that are implied by the prescription have occurred.
entered-in-error Entered In ErrorSome of the actions that are implied by the medication request may have occurred. For example, the medication may have been dispensed and the patient may have taken some of the medication. Clinical decision support systems should take this status into account.
stopped StoppedActions implied by the prescription are to be permanently halted, before all of the administrations occurred. This should not be used if the original order was entered in error.
draft DraftThe prescription is not yet 'actionable', e.g. it is a work in progress, requires sign-off, verification or needs to be run through decision support process.
unknown UnknownThe authoring system does not know which of the status values currently applies for this request.
