Description
http://hl7.org/fhir/valueset-observation-status.html says:
0 | preliminary | Preliminary | This is an initial or interim observation: data may be incomplete or unverified. | ~draft |
http://hl7.org/fhir/valueset-diagnostic-report-status.html says:
0 | partial | Partial | This is a partial (e.g. initial, interim or preliminary) report: data in the report may be incomplete or unverified. | |
1 | preliminary | Preliminary | Verified early results are available, but not all results are final. |
In one case, preliminary may "unverified", and in the other they are "verified early results". Is there a reason for modeling these differently?
