Code	Display	Definition
`planned`	Planned	The Encounter has not yet started.
`in-progress`	In Progress	The Encounter has begun and the patient is present / the practitioner and the patient are meeting.
`on-hold`	On Hold	The Encounter has begun, but is currently on hold, e.g. because the patient is temporarily on leave.
`discharged`	Discharged	The Encounter has been clinically completed, the patient has been discharged from the facility or the visit has ended, and the patient may have departed (refer to subjectStatus). While the encounter is in this status, administrative activities are usually performed, collating all required documentation and charge information before being released for billing, at which point the status will move to completed.
`completed`	Completed	The Encounter has ended.
`cancelled`	Cancelled	The Encounter has ended before it has begun.
`discontinued`	Discontinued	The Encounter has started, but was not able to be completed. Further action may need to be performed, such as rescheduling appointments related to this encounter.
`entered-in-error`	Entered in Error	This instance should not have been part of this patient's medical record.
`unknown`	Unknown	The encounter status is unknown. Note that "unknown" is a value of last resort and every attempt should be made to provide a meaningful value other than "unknown".
