Details
This article introduces the definition of 'Request Status,' based on the FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standard. This CodeSystem provides a set of codes indicating what lifecycle stage a medical procedure or request is in. Specifically, it defines multiple statuses such as 'draft,' 'active,' 'on-hold,' 'revoked,' and 'completed.' These statuses serve an important role not only in showing the record status but also in clarifying what action the system should take regarding that request. For example, 'active' indicates executability, while 'revoked' instructs that no further activity should occur. In Japan, where the adoption of FHIR standards is progressing, such a standardized definition of statuses is crucial for preventing misunderstandings and enhancing workflow reliability during information exchange between different medical systems. This contributes to realizing smoother and safer digital healthcare services.
