Usage Notes

Profile specific implementation guidance:

• Medication definition includes coding as:
  • PBS Item Code - Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme coding, claiming context is not relevant as medicine coding
  • Medication Package Global Trade Item Number - Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) physical product reference
  • AMT Medicines - Australian Medicines Terminology, national drug terminology
  • MIMS Package - commonly used medicine coding
• When a code for medication definition is unavailable, just text is allowed in Medication.code.text.
• When a medication is compounded and is a list of ingredients, Medication.codemay contain only the list of ingredients as text in Medication.code.text.
• Non-coded support for other medicinal product information can be supported as follows:
  • ​brand name in Medication Brand Name extension
  • ​generic name in Medication Generic Name extension
  • item form and strength as part of medication definition in Medication.code.text
  • manufacturer in Medication.manufacturer.display

Potentially useful extensions:

• Medication: Medication Brand Name
• Medication: Medication Generic Name
