  • This CodeSystem is not used here; it may be used elsewhere (e.g. specifications and/or implementations that use this content)

This case-sensitive code system http://hl7.org/fhir/observation-status defines the following codes in an undefined hierarchy:

LvlCodeDisplayDefinition
1 registered Registered The existence of the observation is registered, but there is no result yet available.
1 preliminary Preliminary This is an initial or interim observation: data may be incomplete or unverified.
1 final Final The observation is complete.
1 amended Amended Subsequent to being Final, the observation has been modified subsequent. This includes updates/new information and corrections.
2   corrected Corrected Subsequent to being Final, the observation has been modified to correct an error in the test result.
1 cancelled Cancelled The observation is unavailable because the measurement was not started or not completed (also sometimes called "aborted").
1 entered-in-error Entered in Error The observation has been withdrawn following previous final release.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".)
1 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.
