registered | Registered | The existence of the observation is registered, but there is no result yet available. |
preliminary | Preliminary | This is an initial or interim observation: data may be incomplete or unverified. |
final | Final | The observation is complete and there are no further actions needed. Additional information such "released", "signed", etc would be represented using [Provenance](provenance.html) which provides not only the act but also the actors and dates and other related data. These act states would be associated with an observation status of `preliminary` until they are all completed and then a status of `final` would be applied. |
amended | Amended | Subsequent to being Final, the observation has been modified subsequent. This includes updates/new information and corrections. |
cancelled | Cancelled | The observation is unavailable because the measurement was not started or not completed (also sometimes called "aborted"). |
entered-in-error | Entered in Error | The observation has been withdrawn following previous final release. This electronic record should never have existed, though it is possible that real-world decisions were based on it.

yes | Yes | An action with this behavior is one of the most frequent action that is, or should be, included by an end user, for the particular context in which the action occurs.

order-set | Order Set | A pre-defined and approved group of orders related to a particular clinical condition (e.g. hypertension treatment and monitoring) or stage of care (e.g. hospital admission to Coronary Care Unit).

visual-group | Visual Group | Any group marked with this behavior should be displayed as a visual group to the end user. |
logical-group | Logical Group | A group with this behavior logically groups its sub-elements, and may be shown as a visual group to the end user, but it is not required to do so. |
sentence-group | Sentence Group | A group of related alternative actions is a sentence group if the target referenced by the action is the same in all the actions and each action simply constitutes a different variation on how to specify the details for the target. For example, two actions that could be in a SentenceGroup are "aspirin, 500 mg, 2 times per day" and "aspirin, 300 mg, 3 times per day". In both cases, aspirin is the target referenced by the action, and the two actions represent different options for how aspirin might be ordered for the patient. Note that a SentenceGroup would almost always have an associated selection behavior of "AtMostOne", unless it's a required action, in which case, it would be "ExactlyOne". |
