Task Codes

Codes indicating the type of action that is expected to be performed

This code system http://hl7.org/fhir/CodeSystem/task-code defines the following codes:

Code	Display	Definition
approve	Activate/approve the focal resource	Take what actions are needed to transition the focus resource from 'draft' to 'active' or 'in-progress', as appropriate for the resource type. This may involve additing additional content, approval, validation, etc.
fulfill	Fulfill the focal request	Act to perform the actions defined in the focus request. This might result in a 'more assertive' request (order for a plan or proposal, filler order for a placer order), but is intend to eventually result in events. The degree of fulfillment requested might be limited by Task.restriction.
abort	Mark the focal resource as no longer active	Abort, cancel or withdraw the focal resource, as appropriate for the type of resource.
replace	Replace the focal resource with the input resource	Replace the focal resource with the specified input resource
change	Change the focal resource	Update the focal resource of the owning system to reflect the content specified as the Task.focus
suspend	Suspend the focal resource	Transition the focal resource from 'active' or 'in-progress' to 'suspended'
resume	Re-activate the focal resource	Transition the focal resource from 'suspended' to 'active' or 'in-progress' as appropriate for the resource type.
