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

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. 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
