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

Code Display Definition Copy
ok OK The message was accepted and processed without error. btn   btn
transient-error Transient Error Some internal unexpected error occurred - wait and try again. Note - this is usually used for things like database unavailable, which may be expected to resolve, though human intervention may be required. btn   btn
fatal-error Fatal Error The message was rejected because of a problem with the content. There is no point in re-sending without change. The response narrative SHALL describe the issue. btn   btn
