CodeSystemDisplayDefinitionCanonical Mapping for "Encounter Status"
  plannedhttp://hl7.org/fhir/encounter-statusPlanned

The Encounter has not yet started.

~planned
  in-progresshttp://hl7.org/fhir/encounter-statusIn Progress

The Encounter has begun and the patient is present / the practitioner and the patient are meeting.

~active
  on-holdhttp://hl7.org/fhir/encounter-statusOn Hold

The Encounter has begun, but is currently on hold, e.g. because the patient is temporarily on leave.

~suspended
  dischargedhttp://hl7.org/fhir/encounter-statusDischarged

The Encounter has been clinically completed, the patient has been discharged from the facility or the visit has ended, and the patient may have departed (refer to subjectStatus). While the encounter is in this status, administrative activities are usually performed, collating all required documentation and charge information before being released for billing, at which point the status will move to completed.

~partial
  completedhttp://hl7.org/fhir/encounter-statusCompleted

The Encounter has ended.

~complete
  cancelledhttp://hl7.org/fhir/encounter-statusCancelled

The Encounter has ended before it has begun.

~failed
  discontinuedhttp://hl7.org/fhir/encounter-statusDiscontinued

The Encounter has started, but was not able to be completed. Further action may need to be performed, such as rescheduling appointments related to this encounter.

~abandoned
  entered-in-errorhttp://hl7.org/fhir/encounter-statusEntered in Error

This instance should not have been part of this patient's medical record.

~error
  unknownhttp://hl7.org/fhir/encounter-statusUnknown

The encounter 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".

~unknown

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

LvlA 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
SourceThe source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
CodeThe code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')
DisplayThe 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
