When referring to medications, The MedicationStatement and MedicationOrder resources can either use a code or refer to a Medication resource. This profile sets minimum expectations for the Medication resource to record search and fetch medications associated with a patient. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets SHALL be present in the resource when using this profile.
Example Usage Scenarios:
Queries on Medication resource are expected to be within the context of a MedicationStatement, MedicationOrder resource query. The following are example usage scenarios for the DAF-Medication profile:
The following data-elements are mandatory (i.e data MUST be present). These are presented below in a simple human-readable explanation. Profile specific guidance and an example are provided as well. The Formal Profile Definition below provides the formal summary, definitions, and terminology requirements.
Each Medication must have:
Profile specific implementation guidance:
