4.3.2.350.1 Content

This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/task-code defines the following codes:

Code	Display	Definition	Copy
approve	Activate/approve the focal resource	Take what actions are needed to transition the focus resource from 'draft' to 'active' or 'in-progress', as appropriate for the resource type. This may involve additing additional content, approval, validation, etc.
fulfill	Fulfill the focal request	Act to perform the actions described in the focus request. This might result in a 'more assertive' request (order for a plan or proposal, filler order for a placer order), but is intend to eventually result in events. The degree of fulfillment requested might be limited by Task.restriction.
instantiate	Instantiate the focal definition	Act to perform the actions defined in the focus definition resource (ActivityDefinition, PlanDefinition, Questionnaire, etc.) For PlanDefinition or ActivityDefinition, this might result in a 'more assertive' request (order for a plan or proposal, filler order for a placer order), but is intend to eventually result in events. For Questionnaire, this would result in a QuestionnaireResponse - and possibly resources constructed using data extracted from the response. The degree of fulfillment requested might be limited by Task.restriction.
abort	Mark the focal resource as no longer active	Abort, cancel or withdraw the focal resource, as appropriate for the type of resource.
replace	Replace the focal resource with the input resource	Replace the focal resource with the specified input resource
change	Change the focal resource	Update the focal resource of the owning system to reflect the content specified as the Task.focus
suspend	Suspend the focal resource	Transition the focal resource from 'active' or 'in-progress' to 'suspended'
resume	Re-activate the focal resource	Transition the focal resource from 'suspended' to 'active' or 'in-progress' as appropriate for the resource type.

Level

A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. 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
