Usage scenarios

The following are supported usage scenarios for this profile:

• Query for a patient’s medication usage (current and historical)
• Record or update a record of a medication the patient may be taking the medication now or has taken the medication in the past or will be taking the medication in the future

Profile specific implementation guidance

• See the Medicine information section for guidance
• MedicationStatement resources can represent a medication using either a code, or reference a Medication resource
  • When referencing a Medication resource, it is preferred the resource is contained but it may be an external resource

• Differential Table
• Key Elements Table
• Snapshot Table
• Statistics/References
• All
