This value set contains 8 concepts

LevelSystemCodeDisplay (en)DefinitionJSONXML
1http://hl7.org/fhir/observation-status  registeredRegistered

The existence of the observation is registered, but there is no result yet available.

1http://hl7.org/fhir/observation-status  preliminaryPreliminary

This is an initial or interim observation: data may be incomplete or unverified.

1http://hl7.org/fhir/observation-status  finalFinal

The observation is complete and there are no further actions needed. Additional information such "released", "signed", etc would be represented using Provenance which provides not only the act but also the actors and dates and other related data. These act states would be associated with an observation status of preliminary until they are all completed and then a status of final would be applied.

1http://hl7.org/fhir/observation-status  amendedAmended

Subsequent to being Final, the observation has been modified subsequent. This includes updates/new information and corrections.

2http://hl7.org/fhir/observation-status    correctedCorrected

Subsequent to being Final, the observation has been modified to correct an error in the test result.

1http://hl7.org/fhir/observation-status  cancelledCancelled

The observation is unavailable because the measurement was not started or not completed (also sometimes called "aborted").

1http://hl7.org/fhir/observation-status  entered-in-errorEntered 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The observation has been withdrawn following previous final release.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".).

1http://hl7.org/fhir/observation-status  unknownUnknown

The authoring/source system does not know which of the status values currently applies for this observation. 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.


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
System 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)
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
