This profile defines a list structure that localises core concepts for use as a medicines list in an Australian context. This profile is intended to offer a common structure and expectations for a list of medications associated with a patient in an Australian healthcare context.

Usage Notes

Profile specific implementation guidance:

  • It is important to clearly differentiate between representing the extent of a system’s information for a patient versus clinical judgement of no relevant finding:
    • When asserting clinical judgement that there are no items of specific interest, (e.g. no current medications or no history of vaccination), List.entry.item with a reference to a supported FHIR resource containing the record of assertion should be sent. AU Assertion of No Relevant Finding is defined in this implementation guide for this concept.
    • When a statement is about the nature or extent of the information the system has access to or is permitted to share, (e.g. not asked or information withheld), List.emptyReason should be sent with an appropriate code from the ListEmptyReasons value set.
  • When a related person is the author of the list, the Author as a RelatedPerson extension is used and List.source is not included.
