This profile defines a medication administration 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 MedicationAdministration.code, this profile includes coding as:
  • If a medication is compounded and is a list of ingredients, MedicationAdministration.code is still present and may contain only the list of ingredients as text in MedicationAdministration.code.text.
  • Where additional medicinal product information is needed, MedicationAdministration.medicationReference is preferred to MedicationAdministration.code and use of extensions, see guidance on AU Base Medication.
