Description
Check a recorded result-status change against supplied allowed transition pairs.
Health-information systems separate identifiers, code-system namespaces, source versions, missing-value states and reference syntax. Recording a mapping or recognizing a restricted token does not validate its clinical meaning or a complete HL7/FHIR resource. Explicit null, empty text, unknown status and numeric zero are different states.
Check a recorded result-status change against supplied allowed transition pairs.
When to use this tool
Use Clinical Result Status Transition Pair when checking the stated restricted health-data record, token or transition convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter previousStatus, nextStatus, allowedFrom, allowedTo. Follow any array-alignment requirements below. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read changed, listedTransition. Inspect changed, listedTransition before interpreting the associated values.
Require aligned allowedFrom/allowedTo arrays and nonempty previous/next statuses. changed compares the statuses; listedTransition means at least one aligned pair matches both.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| previousStatus | Previous Status | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| nextStatus | Next Status | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| allowedFrom | Allowed From | Required. Array of text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192; maximum items 256. |
| allowedTo | Allowed To | Required. Array of text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192; maximum items 256. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| changed | Changed | Required. Boolean. |
| listedTransition | An aligned allowedFrom/allowedTo pair matches; a self-transition may be listed even when changed=false. | Required. Boolean. |
{
"input": {
"previousStatus": "preliminary",
"nextStatus": "final",
"allowedFrom": [
"preliminary"
],
"allowedTo": [
"final"
]
},
"output": {
"changed": true,
"listedTransition": true
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- A listed self-transition can be unchanged; the supplied transition list does not define a verified clinical workflow or alter records.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use the intended complete interoperability specification, authoritative terminology and verified source records for actual resource validation, semantic mapping or clinical use.
