      The tracking of the appointment once it has begun is done through the encounter.

      The encounter status valueset will be expanded to also include a new value:

      Code: "discontinued"
      Description: "The Encounter has started, but was not able to be completed. Futher action may need to be performed, such as rescheduling appointments related to this encounter."

      This will map to the canonical status of abandoned, and the cancelled status will be remapped to the failed canonical status.

      Comment:

      There should be a way to indicate that the appointment that was started, but was not completed, but rather discontinued. This will avoid confusion that a "completed" status for an appointment that did not reach its conclusion, particularly if there are several indications for a single appointment)
