This value set contains 8 concepts

Expansion based on http://hl7.org/fhir/observation-status version 3.0.2

All codes from system http://hl7.org/fhir/observation-status

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entered-in-error	Entered in Error	The observation has been withdrawn following previous final release.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

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level

A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies

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
