This profile defines a medication statement structure that localises core concepts, including terminology, for use in an Australian context. The purpose of this profile is to provide national level agreement on core localised concepts. This profile does not force conformance to core localised concepts. It enables implementers and modellers to make their own rules, i.e. profiling, about how to support these concepts for specific implementation needs.

Usage Notes

Profile specific implementation guidance:

  • When identifying a medication, this resource can use either a code or refer to a Medication resource.
  • If making use of MedicationStatement.code, this profile includes coding as:
  • If a medication is compounded and is a list of ingredients, MedicationStatement.code is still present and may contain only the list of ingredients as text in MedicationStatement.code.text.
  • Where additional medicinal product information is needed, MedicationStatement.medicationReference is preferred to MedicationStatement.code and use of extensions, see guidance on AU Base Medication.

Potentially useful extensions:
