Type Alias: ConceptActivity

ConceptActivity = "active" | "deprecated" | "discouraged" | "trial" | "obsolete" | "suppressed" | "header" | "unknown"

A concept's normalized activity - whether it is a clean, current, usable code, or carries a steward status that a caller must not ignore. active is the boolean convenience derived from it.

  • active - current and usable.
  • deprecated - no longer current (LOINC DEPRECATED; a FHIR inactive/deprecated concept).
  • discouraged / trial - LOINC lifecycle states (usable, but not settled).
  • obsolete - withdrawn (RxNorm SUPPRESS = O).
  • suppressed - editor-suppressed (RxNorm/UMLS SUPPRESS = Y/E).
  • header - a classification header, not a billable/valid leaf (ICD-10-CM flag 0).
  • unknown - a status token the mapper did not recognize; carried verbatim, never guessed clean.
