### Logical Definition (CLD)

- Include these codes as defined in `http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/medicationdispense-status` version 📦4.0.1

  Code | Display | Definition
  preparation | Preparation | The core event has not started yet, but some staging activities have begun (e.g. initial compounding or packaging of medication). Preparation stages may be tracked for billing purposes.
  in-progress | In Progress | The dispensed product is ready for pickup.
  cancelled | Cancelled | The dispensed product was not and will never be picked up by the patient.
  on-hold | On Hold | The dispense process is paused while waiting for an external event to reactivate the dispense. For example, new stock has arrived or the prescriber has called.
  completed | Completed | The dispensed product has been picked up.
  entered-in-error | Entered in Error | The dispense was entered in error and therefore nullified.
  stopped | Stopped | Actions implied by the dispense have been permanently halted, before all of them occurred.
  unknown | Unknown | The authoring system does not know which of the status values applies for this medication dispense. Note: this concept is not to be used for other - one of the listed statuses is presumed to apply, it's just now known which one.
