Normative Candidate Note: This page is candidate normative content for R4 in the Observation Package. Once normative, it will lose it's Maturity Level, and breaking changes will no longer be made.
This is a value set defined by the FHIR project.

Lvl | Code | Display | Definition | Canonical Status |
0 | registered | Registered | The existence of the observation is registered, but there is no result yet available. | ~received |
0 | preliminary | Preliminary | This is an initial or interim observation: data may be incomplete or unverified. | ~draft |
0 | final | Final | The observation is complete and there are no further actions needed. Additional information such "released", "signed", etc would be represented using [Provenance](provenance.html) which provides not only the act but also the actors and dates and other related data. These act states would be associated with an observation status of `preliminary` until they are all completed and then a status of `final` would be applied. | ~complete |
0 | amended | Amended | Subsequent to being Final, the observation has been modified subsequent. This includes updates/new information and corrections. | |
1 | corrected | Corrected | Subsequent to being Final, the observation has been modified to correct an error in the test result. | |
0 | cancelled | Cancelled | The observation is unavailable because the measurement was not started or not completed (also sometimes called "aborted"). | ~abandoned |
0 | entered-in-error | Entered in Error | The observation has been withdrawn following previous final release. This electronic record should never have existed, though it is possible that real-world decisions were based on it. (If real-world activity has occurred, the status should be "cancelled" rather than "entered-in-error".). | ~error |
0 | unknown | Unknown | The authoring system does not know which of the status values currently applies for this request. Note: This concept is not to be used for "other" - one of the listed statuses is presumed to apply, but the authoring system does not know which. | ~unknown |

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
Lvl | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information |
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). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract') |
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 |
Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept |
