Each definition includes usage notes explaining the precedence order in contract lifecycle - i.e., while only some stages are required, the order in which they may occur is deterministic; and a map to comparable FHIR and v.3 status codes. It follows guidance about use of status codes in FHIR in the Status Codes Grid.
