LvlCodeDisplayDefinitionCopy
1 active Active The request is 'actionable', but not all actions that are implied by it have occurred yet. btnbtn
1 on-hold On Hold Actions implied by the request are to be temporarily halted. The request might or might not be resumed. May also be called 'suspended'. btnbtn
1 ended Ended The request is no longer active and the subject should no longer be taking the medication. btnbtn
2 stopped Stopped Actions implied by the request are to be permanently halted, before all of the administrations occurred. This should not be used if the original order was entered in error btnbtn
2 completed Completed All actions that are implied by the request have occurred. btnbtn
2 cancelled Cancelled The request has been withdrawn before any administrations have occurred btnbtn
1 entered-in-error Entered in Error The request was recorded against the wrong patient or for some reason should not have been recorded (e.g. wrong medication, wrong dose, etc.). Some of the actions that are implied by the medication request may have occurred. For example, the medication may have been dispensed and the patient may have taken some of the medication. btnbtn
1 draft Draft The request is not yet 'actionable', e.g. it is a work in progress, requires sign-off, verification or needs to be run through decision support process. btnbtn
1 unknown Unknown The authoring/source system does not know which of the status values currently applies for this request. 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. btnbtn
