Code System System Code Display Definition Canonical Mapping for "Encounter Status"
http://hl7.org/fhir/encounter-status    planned http://hl7.org/fhir/encounter-status Planned The Encounter has not yet started. ~ valueset-resource-status.html planned
http://hl7.org/fhir/encounter-status    in-progress http://hl7.org/fhir/encounter-status In Progress The Encounter has begun and the patient is present / the practitioner and the patient are meeting. ~ valueset-resource-status.html active

http://hl7.org/fhir/encounter-status    discharged http://hl7.org/fhir/encounter-status 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. ~ valueset-resource-status.html partial
http://hl7.org/fhir/encounter-status    completed http://hl7.org/fhir/encounter-status Completed The Encounter has ended. ~ valueset-resource-status.html complete

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Lvl A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - 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
