This value set contains 9 concepts
| Level | System | Code | Display | Definition | Canonical Mapping for "medicationrequest Status" |
| 1 | http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/medicationrequest-status |
active | Active | The request is 'actionable', but not all actions that are implied by it have occurred yet. | ~active |
| 1 | http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/medicationrequest-status |
on-hold | On Hold | Actions implied by the request are to be temporarily halted. The request might or might not be resumed. May also be called 'suspended'. | ~suspended |
| 1 | http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/medicationrequest-status |
ended | Ended | The request is no longer active and the subject should no longer be taking the medication. | ~ended |
| 2 | http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/medicationrequest-status |
stopped | Stopped | Actions implied by the request are to be permanently halted, before all of the administrations occurred. This should not be used if the original order was entered in error | ~failed |
| 2 | http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/medicationrequest-status |
completed | Completed | All actions that are implied by the request have occurred. | ~complete |
| 2 | http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/medicationrequest-status |

| 1 | http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/medicationrequest-status |
unknown | Unknown | The authoring/source 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/source system does not know which. | ~unknown |

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
| Lvl | A 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 |
| 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 |
| Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
