Concepts

This case-sensitive code system `http://terminology.hl7.org/v2plusvocab/CodeSystem/observationResultStatusCodesInterpretation` defines the following codes:

Code | Display | Definition | versionIntroduced | modified | Deutsch (German, de)
C | Record coming over is a correction and thus replaces a final result | Record coming over is a correction and thus replaces a final result | 2.2 |  | Korrektur bereits gemeldeter Ergebnisse
D | Deletes the OBX record | Deletes the OBX record | 2.1 |  | Gemeldete Ergebnisse löschen
F | Final results; Can only be changed with a corrected result. | Final results; Can only be changed with a corrected result. | 2.1 |  | Endbefund / Endergebnis
I | Specimen in lab; results pending | Specimen in lab; results pending | 2.1 |  | Probe im Labor - Ergebnisse stehen an
P | Preliminary results | Preliminary results | 2.2 |  | Vorläufige Ergebnisse
R | Results entered -- not verified | Results entered -- not verified | 2.1 |  | Nicht validierte Ergebnisse
S | Partial results | Partial results | 2.1 |  | Teilergebnisse
U | Results status change to final without retransmitting results already sent as 'preliminary'. E.g., radiology changes status from preliminary to final | Results status change to final without retransmitting results already sent as 'preliminary'. E.g., radiology changes status from preliminary to final | 2.2 | 2025-08-02 | Vorläufiges Ergebnis wird Endergebnis, da keine Änderung
X | Results cannot be obtained for this observation | Results cannot be obtained for this observation | 2.2 |  | Untersuchung führt zu keinem Ergebnis
