  • ValueSet: Task Codes (Codes indicating the type of action that is expected to be performed)

4.3.2.303.1 Definition

Codes indicating the type of action that is expected to be performed

4.3.2.303.2 Content

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

CodeDisplayDefinitionCopy
approve Activate/approve the focal resourceTake 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.btn btn
fulfill Fulfill the focal requestAct 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.btn btn
instantiate Instantiate the focal definitionAct 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.btn btn
abort Mark the focal resource as no longer activeAbort, cancel or withdraw the focal resource, as appropriate for the type of resource.btn btn
replace Replace the focal resource with the input resourceReplace the focal resource with the specified input resourcebtn btn
change Change the focal resourceUpdate the focal resource of the owning system to reflect the content specified as the Task.focusbtn btn
suspend Suspend the focal resourceTransition the focal resource from 'active' or 'in-progress' to 'suspended'btn btn
resume Re-activate the focal resourceTransition the focal resource from 'suspended' to 'active' or 'in-progress' as appropriate for the resource type.btn btn

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
