Expansion performed internally based on codesystem Medication Dispense Status Codes v6.0.0-ballot3 (CodeSystem)
This value set contains 9 concepts
| System | Code | Display | Definition | Canonical Mapping for "MedicationDispense Status Codes" |
http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/medicationdispense-status |
preparation | Preparation | The core event has not started yet, but some staging activities have begun (e.g. initial compounding or packaging of medication). Preparation stages may be tracked for billing purposes. | ~planned |
http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/medicationdispense-status |
in-progress | In Progress | The dispensed product is ready for pickup. | ~active |
http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/medicationdispense-status |
cancelled | Cancelled | The dispensed product was not and will never be picked up by the patient. | ~not-done |
http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/medicationdispense-status |
on-hold | On Hold | The dispense process is paused while waiting for an external event to reactivate the dispense. For example, new stock has arrived or the prescriber has called. | ~suspended |
http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/medicationdispense-status |
completed | Completed | The dispensed product has been picked up. | ~complete |
http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/medicationdispense-status |
entered-in-error | Entered in Error | The dispense was entered in error and therefore nullified. | ~error |

unfulfilled | Unfulfilled | Actions implied by the dispense have been permanently halted, before all of them occurred. | ~failed |
http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/medicationdispense-status |
declined | Declined | The dispense was declined and not performed. | ~not-done |
http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/medicationdispense-status |
unknown | Unknown | The authoring system does not know which of the status values applies for this medication dispense. Note: this concept is not to be used for other - one of the listed statuses is presumed to apply, it's just now known which one. | ~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 |
