Usage scenarios

The following are supported usage scenarios for this profile:

• Query medication orders or prescriptions for a patient (current and historical)
• Record or update medication orders or prescriptions for a patient

Comparison with other national and international IGs

A resource conforming to this profile:

• MAY be conformant to:
  • IPA-MedicationRequest if requester is supplied as a reference to a Practitioner, PractitionerRole, Patient resource
  • Medication Request (IPS) if patient is supported as MedicationRequest.subject.reference
  • US Core MedicationRequest if core FHIR MedicationRequest Category codes are supplied in MedicationRequest.category

Conformance in reverse is not guaranteed, i.e. a resource conforming to International Patient Access, International Patient Summary, or US Core MAY NOT conform to AU Core.

Profile specific implementation guidance

• See the Medicine Information page for guidance
• When recording “self-prescribed” medication, MedicationRequest.requester references the Patient or RelatedPerson as the prescriber.
• MedicationRequest resources can represent a medication using either a code with MedicationRequest.medicationCodeableConcept, or reference a Medication resource with MedicationRequest.medicationReference.
  • Although both are marked as Must Support, responders are not required to support both a code and a reference, but they SHALL support at least one of these elements
  • A requester SHALL support both elements
  • When referencing a Medication resource, it is preferred the resource is contained but it may be an external resource
• The MedicationRequest resource can represent a reason as a code with MedicationRequest.reasonCode, or a reference with MedicationRequest.reasonReference to a Condition or other resource.
  • Although both are marked as Must Support, responders are not required to support both a code and a reference, but they SHALL support at least one of these elements
  • A requester SHALL support both elements
