Result Statuses Defined

The Lab Results - HL7 grid contains test result status codes. This table provides descriptions for result status values.

Value	Description	Comment
C	Record coming over is a correction and thus replaces a final result
D	Deletes the OBX record
F	Final results; Can only be changed with a corrected result.
I	Specimen in lab; results pending
N	Not asked; used to affirmatively document that the observation identified in the OBX was not sought when the universal service ID in OBR-4 implies that it would be sought.
O	Order detail description only (no result)
P	Preliminary results
R	Results entered - not verified
S	Partial results. Deprecated. Retained only for backward compatibility as of V2.6.	Deprecated.
X	Results cannot be obtained for this observation
U	Results status change to final without retransmitting results already sent as 'preliminary.' E.g., radiology changes status from preliminary to final
W	Post original as wrong, e.g., transmitted for wrong patient
