Coarse business sub-states recordable on a clinical task alongside its standard FHIR lifecycle status. The lifecycle status says where a task is in its workflow; these codes say whether the chart element the task is filed against needs a human's attention.

The axis is deliberately shallow -- in practice one flag and its cleared state. Richer sub-states belong in status, in intent, or in a workflow's own vocabulary carried under its own system.

Content is complete for the standard vocabulary defined here (Ok, Needs review), consolidating under the IG canonical base the codes that a pre-consolidation system, http://well.company/task-business-status, carried under an older canonical. Stored data may still hold codings on that system, so a reader meeting older records should recognise it; it is being migrated to the canonical declared here, tracked as FHIR-373. Write the canonical system above.

⚠ As of 1.26.0 NexusEmrCoreClinicalTask.businessStatus binds required to the union set, which admits this system and the statutory correction vocabulary and nothing else. A coding on the pre-consolidation canonical is therefore non-conformant rather than merely old, and this guide does not make an exception for it. Sub-states from other systems -- SNOMED CT workflow states, source-EMR legacy vocabularies -- are likewise no longer representable here: that freedom is what the required binding withdrew.
