- **Name**: RequestStatus
- **Title**: Request Status
- **Description**: RequestStatus

## Concepts

| Code | Display | Definition |
| --- | --- | --- |
| draft | Draft | The request has been created but is not yet complete or ready for action. |
| active | Active | The request is in force and ready to be acted upon. |
| on-hold | On Hold | The request (and any implicit authorization to act) has been temporarily withdrawn but is expected to resume in the future. |
| entered-in-error | Entered in Error | This request should never have existed and should be considered 'void'.  (It is possible that real-world decisions were based on it. If real-world activity has occurred, the status should be "revoked" rather than "entered-in-error".). |
| unknown | Unknown | The authoring/source system does not know which of the status values currently applies for this request.  Note: This concept is not to be used for "other" - one of the listed statuses is presumed to apply, but the authoring/source system does not know which. |
| ended | Ended | This request is no longer to be acted upon. This status does not differentiate what degree of action (if any) has already been undertaken against the request. |
