This case-sensitive code system http://hl7.org/fhir/narrative-status defines the following codes:

Code Display Definition Copy
generated Generated The contents of the narrative are entirely generated from the structured data core elements in the content. btn   btn
extensions Extensions The contents of the narrative are entirely generated from the structured data core elements in the content and some of the content is generated from extensions extensions. The narrative SHALL reflect the impact of all modifier extensions. btn   btn
additional Additional The contents of the narrative may contain additional information not found in the structured data. Note that there is no computable way to determine what the extra information is, other than by human inspection inspection. btn   btn
empty Empty The contents of the narrative are some equivalent of "No "No human-readable text provided in this case" case". btn   btn

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 See Code System for further information.
Source 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). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')
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
