CodeDisplayDefinition
registeredRegisteredThe existence of the observation is registered, but there is no result yet available.
preliminaryPreliminaryThis is an initial or interim observation: data may be incomplete or unverified.
finalFinalThe observation is complete and there are no further actions needed. Additional information such "released", "signed", etc would be represented using [Provenance](provenance.html) 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.
amendedAmendedSubsequent to being Final, the observation has been modified subsequent. This includes updates/new information and corrections.
└correctedCorrectedSubsequent to being Final, the observation has been modified to correct an error in the test result.
cancelledCancelledThe observation is unavailable because the measurement was not started or not completed (also sometimes called "aborted").
entered-in-errorEntered in ErrorThe observation has been withdrawn following previous final release.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".).
unknownUnknownThe 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.
