This profile defines a medication request structure that localises core concepts, including identifiers and 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 MedicationRequest.code, this profile includes coding as:
  • If a medication is compounded and is a list of ingredients, MedicationRequest.code is still present and may contain only the list of ingredients as text in MedicationRequest.code.text.
  • Where additional medicinal product information is needed, MedicationRequest.medicationReference is preferred to MedicationRequest.code and use of extensions, see guidance on AU Base Medication.
  • See each Identifier profile page for guidance related to that identifier type.

Potentially useful extensions:
